Sorry, but I couldn't resist. When a New York Times columnist tells us that we shouldn't bother to try to assign blame to the millionaires and billionaires who wrecked the world economy and created a situation in which tens of millions of people will go unemployed and hungry, what else can you say? (Credit goes to Monte Python for the title, if not the column.)
