I kinda have a thing for Matt Tiabbi. I never would have expected a Rolling Stone columnist to constantly harangue and brutally deconstruct the players of the economic fiasco.

It really is a thing of beauty, and one of the best reasons investigative journalism had better survive the media reorganization caused by the internet.
