Huffington, Arianna. Pigs at the Trough: How Corporate Greed and Political Corruption Are Undermining America. New York: Crown Publishers, 2003. 277 pages.

Arianna Huffington, a syndicated columnist who lives in Los Angeles, slings some choice words in this delightful book. The targets of her outrage include everyone from Wall Street analysts to overpaid corporate kingpins, and slavish lapdog deregulators in Washington to the lobbyists who make sure they stay ineffective. This is the book that was written the morning after that huge bubble of hot air during the nineties, when our lovely corporate media pushed the line that we'd all get stinking rich, just so long as we allowed the big stinkers to get even richer.

Enron, Tyco, Worldcom, Arthur Andersen, Global Crossing, Adelphia, Bayer, Citigroup, Halliburton, Merrill Lynch, AOL, Xerox -- these are a few of the culprits. Their corporate leaders and lobbyists, and the politicians eager for the soft money that was stolen from unsuspecting employees, consumers and 401(k) suckers, come from both parties. It's not Republican vs. Democrat, but rather it's Tax-Free Unaccountability for the Rich vs. Minimum Subsistence for the Rest of Us. The next time some wretched, lying pundit in a nice suit tells you that a rising tide lifts all boats, stick his head under water and see if he likes it.
