R.I.P. Joe Bageant

A master of wit, wisdom, and razor sharp social commentary, whose truly unique perspective will be sorely missed. Part philosopher, comic, and humanitarian, I count him among my significant influences.

Thank you for being who you were Joe. That's all.

And I cannot recommend his book "Deer Hunting With Jesus" enough. It has a special resonance for those of us who grew up in the south.
