His post shows a great working example of his principles from his book <a href="http://digitalroam.typepad.com/digital_roam/">The Back of the Napkin</a>. He condenses a lot of heavy data comparing eight years of the Clinton Administration with eight years of the George W Bush administration into graphics that are easy to understand and that anyone could produce. <br>
