I wanted to offer my condolences to James Joyner for the sudden loss of his wife, Kimberly. James has long been a friend of this blog.

In many ways he was a big help in getting both this blog and my own writing more exposure. He and his family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Yes, words are wholly inadequate; and even an acknowledgment of that fact feels rote and uncaring. It’s just horrifying what happened to Mr. Joyner’s family, an incomprehensibly painful and senseless tragedy.Report
