Money well spent on a guy whose thoughtful research and really relevant experience brings worthwhile information to the conversation. People don’t understand that many sources of “free” information are not free at all. For $5 I can pay close attention and if I get a wild hair over something I think is unscrupulous I can cancel. That’s a form of contract. I prefer to pay for most of my news in the hopes that payment will somehow maintain objective principles like clearly identifiable opinion columns and reasonable and informative technical content. I’m a moderate and it can be tough out there though I find print or digital versions of a few conservative and liberal media are more or less principled than their media counterparts. Thanks for your service and intellect, great content and willingness to share your experiences!

Ryan, do you have a PayPal account where we can throw a few extra bucks your way? Drinking cheap beer is against one of the Geneva Conventions (it's in an obscure sub-paragraph). Life's too short (and the war is too long) to skimp on your mental health (and your liver).

my step father drinks premium Scotch. He believes that a good Scotch won't hurt your liver as it is so pure. He looked at me the other day and said "I can't believe I"m 85, I never even tried to make it to 80!" So, agree with Larry, for medicinal purposes, get the good stuff.

I'm a bourbon guy myself. I think my liver will pack it's bags and leave me by any available orifice before I reach 85!

Like many of your subscribers I consider this a wise investment and bargain. Plus, it is still cheaper than the Economist. Keep up the insightful reporting, and I'm with "Trip" who suggested that quality beer is also a wise investment. With gratitude, Gordon.

I recently payed for a subscription, and I want you to buy a premium imported beer (from Europe) and enjoy a cold one. You deserve that!

Best $5 I've ever spent, keep it coming.

Also, as tempting as your thoughts on whiskey & cigars would be, please keep the content on point.

To paraphrase: I spent most of my fortune on whiskey and women, the rest I wasted. Don’t waste your subscribers’ money.
