Jim Quinn of The Burning Platform (via ZH), in one lengthy, entertaining, sobering, frightening, instructive post, elegantly drapes post-1900 U.S. history, current affairs, economics, politics and a criminal investigation over the skeleton of John Steinbeck’s 1937 masterpiece, The Grapes of Wrath.
It’ll probably take you an hour to read and absorb this piece. My advice? Go prepare your favorite adult beverage and do it. It’ll be one of the most worthwhile hours you spend all year.
I am confused, though, whether he has taken large chunks from Wikipedia, or if the fine aggregators at Wiki have taken his stuff.

Good question, Jim. I’ll see if I can make some time today to look at the history of the Wiki page and determine an answer.
