The merry pranksters from "RepubliCorp," a tongue-in-cheek political group in the vein of Billionaires for Bush, opens a "Mark Kirk for Senate HQ" immediately outside the Chicago Chinese Consulate. Mark Kirk is now notorious for his "Beijing Fundraiser" which preceeded by one day Kirk's vote against closing tax loopholes for companies that outsource jobs overseas.

We need more hilarity like this to get the attention of folks who don't ordinarily pay attention to politics. Kirk and his entire political party are completely cozy with Chinese interests and big corporations moving US jobs overseas and getting a tax break because of it.

Pervasive corruption on such a grand scale has only one outcome.

BTW. funny ad. The souless public domain music is especially accurate. That in itself captures the essence of the corporate world as I experience it.

I can imagine a scenario where the new GOP super majority (if the media are to be believed) abolishes ALL taxes, both corporate and personal, and enters into an agreement whereby the Chinese government funds all US government expenditures for the next 100 years, and then takes possession of the country. Virtually no one living today will see anything but the benefits of the arrangement. It's a lend-to-buy option that won't even affect my grandchildren. All good. Greatgrandkids, meh.

The purpose of Crooks and Liars is to keep small-minded individuals thinking in terms of the left vs. right garbage they've been trained to respond to.
