You want to get political? Let's get political about politics.
My last two blogs (Millions missing from Bain & Company ESOP and More on the Bain ESOP) created a bit of a stir: "This is a deliberate leftist commie attack on Romney!" False. "This is just an attempt to get views on your blog!" True. "Garbage!" Well, at least my mom says I'm cool.
What's interesting to me is that so many of the remarks I received, publicly and privately, focused on analyzing the motivations behind the post rather than speaking to its content. A deep dive into the ESOP data provided could have revealed, at its most impactful, a monumental example of corporate malfeasance sitting square in the public eye (thrilling, but not very likely), and even less impactful could have been a valuable learning opportunity on the vagaries and ins-and-outs of IRS tax filings (more likely, but about as thrilling as Helvetica).
