Anyone else out there miss Joe Bageant?
I was thinking about him this morning and reflecting on what he'd have to say about the events of the last few months. The thought of his viciously truthful bullshit-free rants made me smile for a minute.

2. We lost a very bright light!
His style and insights were captivating and cogent.

I always enjoyed, and looked forward to a new article from Joe.

It is recommended that those who have not had the chance, to check-out some of his past works online.

6. When did he pass?
I knew he was ill, but lost track. Really connected with his perspective.

7. Joe died of an aggressive cancer in March.
He was only diagnosed last fall. Hell of a loss.
