Must be the "Onion" department of the New Yorker.

But it rings so true. Most of our congress seems to be owned by one or more PAC, Corporation, Corporate Association. There's damn little left for "the people". They'll vote Big Insurance over single-payer. They voted to force Medicare to pay "retail" for drugs - no negotiating.

Wayne is good. When Harry Reid speaks, you can barely see Wayne's lips move.

No, the PACs and Corporations are greedy "people". They can't spare a Dem. Or a Rep. Not for lowlifes like myself.
