PIGS AT THE TROUGH

The female answer to Michael Moore, Huffington intelligently and mercilessly takes the robber barons of today's business and political worlds to task. Her sarcastic humor is delivered perfectly, complete with poisoned barbs, by reader Alison Fraser. We miss none of Huffington's outrage and disgust with those who gut corporations' mutual funds for their own overblown desires--leaving average Americans holding an empty moneybag--as Fraser enumerates their seemingly endless crimes and excesses. Listeners will walk away convinced that we live in the most profligate era yet, with Huffington as one of its most vocal critics. D.J.B.
