I’ll remind Guav that both candidates from both major parties promised to stick to a limit and accept public funding, but the guy in the Whitehouse now broke that promise when the cash started rolling in.

I’d also have to say that diplomatic postings have always been used as prestige patronage giveaways, so its kind of unfair to add them in to the total. Still, this is not the hope and change we’ve been looking for.

To help you along I’d spring you some money for a no-show coat-holder job!

It was such a bitch to get out of bed this morning, it would be WORTH maxing out the credit cards to get a job in Washington where I just have to order $500 toilet seats online. I’ll also write reports on the stock of all the local gun shops!

Trouble with that is then the politicians in power can pass laws deciding who gets funded and who doesn’t.

I would like all of our elections to be publicly funded.
