which reminds me of the story the other day, where dallas-ft worth did a drug 'raid'. no drugs found, but the guys brand new pair of air jordans came up missing (found at dfw cops house) and half his cash is gone. they claimed the search turned up 1k, he says he had over 2k. now, the cops a thief-so does he get investigated about the money?

dan, you might take a look at this one..‘The Unwinding,’ by George Packer.
Packer was a guest on Colbert last nite..book about the struggling masses.

Quote:

Packer is a staff writer for The New Yorker who produced some of the finest journalism about the Iraq war (including an outstanding book called “The Assassin’s Gate”).

DAVID BROOKS review below link..he had some issues with it.
