		<description>In 2009, the brothers running Koch Industries have made it into the top 10 richest Americans.  (KI being the second largest private corporation in the United States, and one of the biggest financiers of conservative think tanks, media and politicians).  So I don&#039;t imagine the trend&#039;s gotten any better.

The &quot;liberal elite&quot; thing is the biggest red herring this country has seen in a bloody long time.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;the wal-mart folks can throw all the money they want at rush limbaugh and foxnews and assrocket -- it ain&#039;t gonna change wrong to right.&lt;/i&gt;

No, but it&#039;s looking like that sort of thing can change &quot;illegal&quot; to &quot;legal&quot;.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Although, he was a fantastic clutch hitter. &lt;/i&gt;

Isn&#039;t that one of those things everybody believes but can&#039;t ever be proved? I mean, how do you define a &quot;clutch hitter?&quot; What metrics would you use? 

Of course, whatever metrics you chose would have to allow for comparisons between hitters, so we could determine the clutchiest hitter of all time.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the best clutch hitters would not end up being the same guys we would expect.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;infinite quantities&lt;/i&gt;

Hey, once you&#039;ve chosen George-Bush-scrotum-licking as your latest career move, you really don&#039;t need to worry any more about facts, numbers, logic, or any of that other ridiculous crap that the stupid liberals always love talking about on their stupid &quot;blogs.&quot;  

Buncha Saddam-lovin&#039; pointy-headed intellectuals...always thinkin&#039; they&#039;re better&#039;n everybody else. Them and their &quot;infinite quantities.&quot;</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Joe Carter deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.&lt;/em&gt;

His &#039;93 homer does, yes.  But other than that, no.

Career OBP of .306?  Career OPS+ of 104?

Although, he was a fantastic clutch hitter.  But that doesn&#039;t make him a HOF&#039;er.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;If you had seen him pitch the year he won his NL Cy Young... incredible.&lt;/em&gt;

2000 was even better.  He had an ERA+ of 285 and a WHIP of 0.737.  Those are both historically amazing numbers.  No one has topped them.</description>

		<description>Geeze, Brad--those Sam&#039;s Scions really throw this little bell curve for a loop. Perhaps it would be better to consider them one aggregate entity, and place them at the #1 spot, or wherever their combined fortune would land them, then fill their empty spots from below with more billionaires. &#039;Course, that could skew things even &lt;i&gt;more &lt;/i&gt;Republican....</description>

		<description>The link you give for Bill Gates isn&#039;t quite as complete as this NewsMeat report:
http://www.newsmeat.com/billionaire_political_donations/Bill_Gates.php

Reason is that Bill Gates Sr. gets mixed in with megabillionaire Bill Gates III.

That is all.</description>

Despite the protests of the anti-taffy defamation league, I would guess that the numbers do, in fact, support that allegation.</description>

He compared what he pays on his place back East to what he paid on his place in Malibu, and he thought it was outrageous that Californians property taxes are so low.  And of course, the attack poodles were sicced on him...</description>

		<description>Good lord, conservatives just keep giving and giving huge tax cuts and provide loopholes for these million and billionares&#039; companies to exploit, but they just can&#039;t get any love from those mean old rich people!
Those Democrats have corrupted them with promises of marijuana, butt sex, and all the aborted fetuses they want.
The Bastards!</description>
