I know I haven't checked in here in a while. I'm busy putting the finishing touches on my book; also, my internet access has been a little spotty (I'm still at my underground bunker in the mountains).

This week's installment addresses an issue that peeves me to no end. All that increased worker productivity has helped lift corporate profits to record levels, yet in terms of real income, workers aren’t sharing in the wealth they’ve created. Median income has stalled during Bush's reign. Meanwhile, the incomes of even mediocre executives are ballooning like the force-fed geese used to make their foie gras. Screw that!
