The New York Times is giving a lecture on the Middle Class. None other than Comrade Barbara Ehrenreich, a leader of the Democratic Socialists of America, will be one of the panelists. The Times doesn't want you to know that Comrade Ehrenreich is a living, breathing, socialist so they just say Barbara Ehrenreich-author of 13 books, including the bestselling “Nickel and Dimed”. That way you will not get confused on what's the difference between the "progressive editorials" of Gail Collins and socialism. No word yet on whether Comrade Ehrenreich wants to share her personal wealth with the people.
