But a somewhat recent discovery has got me thinking about those burps, bubbles, and gurgles in a whole new light. Because, as it turns out, your gut has a mind of its own......

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Mitt Romney's Test of Moral Fiber
I was surprised when Mitt Romney's son, Matt,resuscitated the "birther" issue in New Hampshire on December 29. Speaking at a campaign event, the young Romney deflected a question about his father's refusal to release his income tax return by citing a proposal that President Barack Obama should first release his own birth certificate.

"The Making of the 99%"| The Nation
“Class happens when some men, as a result of common experiences (inherited or shared), feel and articulate the identity of their interests as between themselves, and as against other men whose interests are different from (and usually opposed to) theirs.” —E.P. Thompson, The Making of the English Working Class The “other men” (and of course women) in the current American class alignment are those in the top 1 percent of the wealth distribution—the bankers, hedge-fund managers and CEOs targeted by the Occupy Wall Street movement. They have been around for a long time in one form or another, but they began to emerge as a distinct and visible group, informally called the “superrich,” only in recent years.
