First Entry - A Dedication

As I start the New Year off with this blog focusing on misleading use of numbers in political discourse, I am dedicating the effort to my uncle, Thomas Wesley Mason. Uncle Wes, at age 93 is still a delight to talk to and remains as sharp as ever. The oldest living veteran of the 3rd Infantry Division, he spent a full twenty years in the U.S. Army serving in the force that occupied China after World War I (yes we had military on the Chinese mainland!) as well as serving through World War II and Korea. He has many an interesting story to tell about these times - perhaps the subject of a Webography one day.
