I read this this morning (read the entire article): There’s a stereotypical assumption among Christians in the nonprofit world that capitalism means greed or selfishness, and “therefore has got to be bad,” says Nash, founder and managing partner of Piper Cove Asset Management LLC.

Gotta Love the VA
Mary Katharine Ham’s column today, Veterans on VA: ‘Get the politics outta the system’ Vets vent at national VFW convention, speaks of veterans’ views of the VA, and by proxy, the situation at Walter Reed.

Cars improved the air … that’s no bull
