The guy is holding the leash but where's the beagle gone? It's a freakin' outrage.
 
Here's a refreshing article in the New York Times written by one of the world's richest men, Warren Buffett, about the absurdly low tax the super rich pay in America.

"OUR leaders have asked for “shared sacrifice.” But when they did the asking, they spared me. I checked with my mega-rich friends to learn what pain they were expecting. They, too, were left untouched."

Our mining magnates should read this.
 
This is simply magnificient.

"Mayor gift to ex-wife? A 20-tonne boulder on her lawn, wrapped in ribbon with note."

"A boulder topped with a pink ribbon and covered in a spray-painted message: "Happy birthday, Isa." sits in the driveway of Isabelle Prevost, Monday, August 15, 2011, in Acton Vale, Que. The 20-ton stone was left there as a gift by Dany Lariviere, her ex-husband and mayor of a nearby municipality, following lengthy divorce proceedings."

This is fascinating reading: how a few economic students saved Brazil's economy from hyper inflation by inventing fake money. Amazing read. Wonder if some countries will be needing that soon.

How Fake Money Saved Brazil

"This is a story about how an economist and his buddies tricked the people of Brazil into saving the country from rampant inflation. They had a crazy, unlikely plan, and it worked.

Twenty years ago, Brazil's inflation rate hit 80 percent per month. At that rate, if eggs cost $1 one day, they'll cost $2 a month later. If it keeps up for a year, they'll cost $1,000."
