I think Laura Clawson's article on the Daily Kos was linked in yesterday's TH newsletter, despite not being elaborated on during yesterday's show. I always enjoy her articles (or diaries, as they call them at DK).

From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
There's no /th/ sound in "apartheid". Just like "pothole", it's a compound: apart+heid. German has virtually the same suffix, -heit, which translates as -ness. If you go back far enough in the evolution of Indo-European languages, I think it might be a cognate of -ity, which German has borrowed directly from Latin as -ität.
