Dissertation Defended, Slides Posted - From Throttlebottom to Angler: The Evolving National Security Role of the Vice President

My long journey to guild membership is complete, I have defended my dissertation on the national security role of the vice president. It took 110,000 words in 370 pages, but it is done (except for some obligatory mop up.)

Does that mean I'm done with the vice president? Not yet, not quite. There are still things to say. But first, to whet your appetite for the inevitable book - here are my defense slides!

Hope the picture of John C. Calhoun on slide 9 didn't give you nightmares!
