OK, I didn't know him, except through his writings. And I didn't have any brilliant things to add to the many tributes to him this past week, following his untimely death.
But it occurs to me that perhaps the best way we can remember him, and do honor unto him, would be to 'endow' a chair here at Daily Kos, the way that Kos now has stipends available for select Front Page contributors. I'm not the one to do anything other than toss this idea out for consideration - Kos, the other main players here, people who are knowledgeable about such financial arrangements at schools and research institutions - those are the ones who need to weigh in. What would it take, is it even a good idea? Use this diary to explore the notion, or just let it slide by.
No tip jar or comments from me in this diary. Consider it my tribute to Steve.
