What would Cesar say about this Super PAC?

While the dearly departed Finnegan was a big fan of Grammy- and Peabody-winning pundit Dr. Stephen T. Colbert...

Finnegan & Stephen

...Humphrey finds his incessant shouting disconcerting.

Nonetheless, Dr. Colbert is to be lauded for his resemblance to Humphrey's favorite Greek philosopher, Diogenges Laertes of Synope, who had a special regard for dogs (more on that some other time). And so, Humphrey approves his inclusion in the Willowdale Dogs blog.

Yesterday, Dr. Colbert's televised thuderous oration about Super PACs caught Humphrey's attention. "A Super PAC?" Humphrey asked. "Is that like a splendidly impressive dog pack? How do I join?"

"Actually, no," his guardian explained. "A Super PAC is a special political action committee in the United States. The US Supreme Court made a ruling to allow corporations to make unlimited contributions to electoral candidates after they basically argued that under the law, corporations are citizens, so they should have rights in the electoral process."

"So what does this have to do with packs?" Humphrey asked. "Are there dog corporations I'm not aware of?"

Humphrey's guardian laughed and shook her head.

"But, this doesn't seem right - corporations are not citizens, and you know I take democracy really seriously!" Humphrey said, alarmed.

"Not to worry, Humphrey," she assured him. "Stephen Colbert is announcing he got FEC approval to start his own Super PAC, and you know he'll accomplish something. You can join if you want."

"Sure," Humphrey said. "Does Cesar Millan also have a Super Pack?"
