		<description><![CDATA[Amazon.com&#8217;s 2011 4th-quarter earnings dropped 57%. In related news, my belief that there might be a God rose 57%. Here, Dennis Johnson does a pretty good job of concealing his glee.

		<description><![CDATA[by Martin Barkley For five years I’ve been doing research on the history of political and corporate corruption in America for a novel I’m writing. Not just the bare historical facts, but how corruption happens, the nexus of it and the human players, large and small, behind it. It makes for disheartening reading, and sometimes, [...]]]></description>
