"Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."

Wage Slaves
Here's a fun little map showing the drop in median incomes over the past six years. Compared to Michigan and North Carolina, I actually feel lunky that California's median only dropped 3.6 percent.
I'm surprised my home state of New York is only -2.7%. With out cost of living it definitely feels worse.
