Today's Must-Read

From Hullabaloo, a guest post in response to the whining tirade by Tom Perkins, who presumes to speak for the 1%. The author is John Forbes, also one of the 1%, and a reminder that they're not all sociopaths.

It's really not excerptable (is that a word? It is now), so read the whole thing.

(Footnote: Perkins has apologized for the "Kristallnacht" reference -- the word, not the sentiment.)
