In Slate's article "Big Business's Big Term" we will ignore the fact that Mr. Kendall's bias is buried in the bio box at the bottom.  We will also ignore the fact that his portrayal of me as "gushing" is sexist if not insulting. Instead, let's focus on the last paragraph of the article in which Kendall concedes that "The game is not rigged. Rather, by investing heavily in legal strategy and working patiently in case after case, the chamber has won victories that have gradually shifted the ground rules in its favor." -- and thank him for the compliment.
