Has the Supreme Court dashed all hopes of public financing for elections? It looks like Arizona's gubernatorial race is unalterably messed with, but we'll have to see what happens in the Supremes' next term to see the full impact of this order.
We already pretty much have corporations holding public office. I mean, to win public office, you have to have a lot of ill-gained money from the exploitation of huge numbers of people, a large organization comprised of power-hungry drones advertising a product using deception, and an enormous amount of marketing based on manipulation of people's emotions. Bingo. Maybe as a first step toward acknowledging this, we should rename the Gulf of Mexico the Toilet of British Petroleum.
