I love a good joke as much as the next guy, but not when the joke is on me.

You're telling me that the Supreme Court, in its rock-solid Conservative wisdom, has ruled that corporations can now spend as much as they please to skew elections in favor of the candidates of their choice? What a hoot! I'll believe that when Massachusetts sends a Republican nobody and former nude pin-up to the U.S. Senate.

Oh my dear God, it's true.

Well, at least we've stripped away (speaking of nude pin-ups) the fig-leaf covering up the naked fact that we are and have for quite some time been a government by, of, and for the moneyed interests of America.

But hey, this is America, where we have something called freedom of speech, where every person has the right to coax someone else to vote a certain way, whether it's you jawing with your neighbor over your back fence, or whether it's Goldman Sachs spending some of the $4.95 billion in profit it made in the last three months to convince Americans that banking regulation is a bad idea.

But wait, Goldman Sachs isn't a person, like your aunt Nell or the guy down the street. Is it?

Oh my dear God...
