SUPER PAC MAN


For those who are interested, the New York Times recently published the list of donors to the various political "SUPER PAC's."

Political candidates are allowed to raise a maximum of $2,500 per person for each election. However, super PACs (political action committees) are (supposedly) independent from candidates and are allowed to raise unlimited amounts of cash from individuals, corporations and labor unions, and spend unlimited amounts to support or oppose a candidate.

(sigh) 

Thank you, Supreme Court.
