What People Are Saying

larry6215: "As parents of a son in your age bracket and similar employment status, we had to put our dream trip on hold last year (we recently retired) to susidize an $11,000 dental bill for his three broken teeth suffered while texting, tripping, and meeting a concrete curb face down.... Hopefully meaningful health reform will become a reality and our younger citizens won't have to 'empty their bank accounts' or their parents' vacation account."

kmdu: "Kevin, you are my favorite to win this contest based on your past work; that said, trying to weed through the thick sarcasm and forced quips in this piece was confusing and ultimately muddled your point on healthcare. For your final piece, this should have been much stronger, clearer and (remember, you're not a pundit yet, you still have to play a bit nice to win the votes) a little less polarizing."

reggerman1: "I am going to plea for a little sympathy for both these finalists. As one of the 4800 initial contestants I struggled to say something timely yet fresh ONCE. Zeba and Kevin are being asked to do it REPEATEDLY, but without the support and connections that professional pundits enjoy. I am going to review their bodies of work, rather than just this final entry, and then cast my vote accordingly. Thank goodness this journalistic Bataan Death March is coming to an end."
