You'd think this headline was from the satirical website, The Onion - but indeed brave Americans, we have entered the next logical step in our corporaticy (is that a word?). While a bit of a political stunt (kudos to the public relations firm), one can only imagine some corporations salivating at the thought. That said, why bother? Much better to continue the status quo & have their human puppets take all the flack while they collect all the rewards quietly in the background. This is actually a perfect book end to this morning's piece where Jon Stewart showed us all the things he could get away with in America, if he was a corporation rather than a human being.

THE effort to elect Murray Hill to Congress is a political campaign unlike any other. It is rare for an election candidate to pledge to “put people second, or even thirdâ€

OMG! This is insane! All of a sudden I don't blame Obama for criticizing the Supreme Court for their ruling that corporations can be politically involved. Being involved with ads is one thing, but for corporations to be running for public office is heinous. Elections are traditionally to elect an individual to office, not some sub-human entity that decides to appoint a shill to carry out the duties and then decides to switch the shill. Whom does one deal with -- the shill or the corporate office telephone clerks.

MY, MY. isn't it a beautiful thing when a plan comes together. welcome to the END GAME.
