Kleptonomics

Via Talking Points Memo, a good article on Slate, "Claude Allen's Mentor - Shoplifting and Bushonomics". The punchline comes right up front:

[T]he more we hear about what [Claude] Allen is accused of, the less it sounds like kleptomania and the more it sounds like an application of Bush economic policy.

From there on it's my kind of journalism: a combination of cheap shots and good points.
