Ben's Bio

With a new baby, classes beginning for my MBA and a real job, I simply don't have much time to commit towards writing here on B/R anymore, so I'm officially taking a temporary hiatus from the writer's block.

Fear not! I will still spend some time on here reading articles and commenting (I can do that at work after all! :) And hope to return to the writing ASAP!

The NY Yankees and the media are trying to manipulate you.

Yankee propaganda must be exposed as lies and crushed before it can spread any further.
