Follow the Money

I was listening to a conversation about Arlen Specter's grandstanding the other day. One of the guys said that Specter has been in Comcast's pocket for years. Huh? I didn't know what the guy was talking about, so I did a little digging. It seems that Comcast is Specter's second largest contributor. It also seems that Comcast and the NFL have been fighting for a while now. A lot of money is involved, so Comcast sent their pet Senator out to piddle on Roger Goodell's parade.

Sadly, this is not shocking. It is not even unusual. This is American democracy in the 21st century -- the best government that money can buy.
