I thought I heard Thom mention Benoit Mandelbrot in an article on stock markets, but I missed the relevance.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
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."
I signed the petition of support Rep. Grayson's proposed Constitutional amendment to ban gerrymandering a couple days ago, but it doesn't let you see the text of it. My best guess as to what it might say is: no person holding, or being a candidate for, a public office may take part in deciding the borders of electoral districts.
