All right, that's it, I am DONE with politics
I just don't even want to watch any more, let alone rant about it:
From this link right here: http://www.theawl.com/2010/01/what-we-need-is-more-money-in-politics - which URL really says it all, right? - we get truly fanTAStic news about another brilliant moment from the Supreme Court:
A divided Supreme Court on Thursday swept away decades of legislative efforts to restrict the role of corporations in election campaigns, ruling that severe restrictions on corporate spending are inconsistent with the First Amendment's protection of political speech. . .
The decision upends the court's precedent that corporations may not use their profits to support or oppose candidates, and it rejects a large portion of the so-called McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform act that the justices had declared constitutional just six years ago.
Just - fuck it.
(I'm not giving up my Daily Show habit, because mocking the media is still funny.)
