How did West Virginia become a state? Sit in on a class at @WestVirginiaU from professor William Gorby who talks about the formation of the state and its entry into the Union during the Civil War. Watch on @cspan 2 at 8pm ET this Saturday.

I can't believe General Mattis from my book Generation Kill just got married using the same Elvis impersonator I did -- though I found him first. Such an odd, personally striking, yet completely pointless coincidence.

I’d like to take this moment to apologize to all the supply people I referred to as POGs in my twenties as I watch the Russians run out of food and gas in only 48 hours to a country adjacent to them.

Sad to hear of Prince Philip's death. A century of wisdom and admirable service goes with him. Historians record, yet there's still something sombre about losing people who actually lived it. An era is coming to an end, and along with it a great sense of humour. RIP & thank you.

Because I never fit into the mold of what advisors and such wanted me to be. Mainly, I was too working class / too white trash / too "rough around the edges" for the polite society of academe. You have to fit a very specific image of what a scholar is, or you don't get promoted.
