Shocked! I am utterly shocked, and will frankly admit it!

Constant has written a superior book review, absolutely factually correct (at last!!!!!).

And Morris' bio of Edison was pretty f'n paltry as well.

Morris has too many shortcomings as a biographer --- fortunately, unlike Paula Broadwell, his subjects are usually dead so he can't blow them simultaneously as he's writing about them.

Numbers for the day:

Only THREE PERCENT of the very rich are entrepreneurs.

Only FOUR OUT OF 150 countries have more wealth inequality than us.

An amount equal to ONE-HALF the GDP is held untaxed overseas by rich Americans.

Corporations stopped paying HALF OF THEIR TAXES after the recession.

Just TEN Americans made a total of FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS in one year.

Tax deductions for the rich could pay off 100 PERCENT of the deficit.

The average single black or Hispanic woman has about $100 IN NET WORTH.

Elderly and disabled food stamp recipients get $4.30 A DAY FOR FOOD.

Young adults have lost TWO-THIRDS OF THEIR NET WORTH since 1984.

The American public paid about FOUR TRILLION DOLLARS to bail out the banks.
