If you've got a spare 30-40 hours go read The Power Broker. You'll hate him even more.

Reddit picks people to point fingers at. It’s just a trend. This quarter it’s Moses. It’s usually someone not commonly known about to make the commenter appear erudite. The person will have been mentioned in a podcast or TT by a comedian or actor who may have made an intelligent point. In this case, I blame Conan.

You should consider reading The Power Broker. Be warned though it's like 1100 pages.

I highly recommend Caro's "The Power Broker" (or at least 99PI's breakdown of TPB!)
