I'd never heard of Judson Cox before I stumbled across one of his columns while googling for Dave Barry, but he can sure write a contributor's note: "Judson Cox is a political columnist from the mountains of North Carolina. He is quickly gaining recognition as one of the most popular and influential voices of his generation. As a college student, and a young entrepreneur, he has a unique perspective on matters of politics, economics and culture. His fiercely independent style and pugilistic wit make for a column that is always entertaining, often inspiring and frequently 'laugh out loud' funny. With a humor akin to P.J. O'Rourke and Dave Barry, and a plain spoken southern wisdom that matches Charlie Daniels, his confrontational style lies somewhere between Ann Coulter and Merle Haggard."
