Hurry! This Blog for Sale

Now that the Supreme Court has said that corporations can contribute as much as they want to exercise their free speech, I am offering this Blog for sale to any corporation, but especially AIG, Goldman Sachs, Exxon-Mobile, Walmart and any American-based Chinese Red Army subsidiary.  (I'd include Amazon and Google, too, but I've kind of sold the right side of the blog to them  already).

What free speech is more free than a blog?  And its influence can be virtually unlimited.  (I said "can" be.)

In freeing heretofore politically mute corporations, Justice Anthony ("Tony" to his corporate friends) Kennedy mentioned this blog--though not by name, I'm still sure it was this one--as a reason to give corporations unbridled right to free speech, but especially political speech. 

So, come on, Corporations.  Don't waste it all on politicians who won't stay bought longer than Conan O'Brian.  My blog, you can keep.

Maybe a consortium can buy my blog.  Realizing that free speech is going to be very expensive, I invite all health insurance companies can get together and buy this blog, and I, at least, might waive all preconditions.

With freedom, too, comes competition.  Justice Tony has removed the shackles that have kept corporations powerless to influence political campaigns for ages and they will be eager to exercise their most basic of human rights.  Corporations can now pour unlimited money into speech, especially since Tiger Woods doesn't get any.  With the decision itself is barely cold, does it seem I am acting inappropriately quickly?  You bet.  I am worried sick that some of their billions will be siphoned off in the usual and less enriching ways before it finds its way to me and this blog. For example:

• Congressman will take a leaf from NASCAR and wear hundreds of logo-laden badges on their jackets, ties and slacks.  Some may only wear one, but exclusivity is very expensive.
• Checks to Presidential campaigns for $100,000,000 or so can say "Please don't regulate banks" on the memo line.
• Corporations can now supply free campaign Jets to Senatorial candidates, but, in the name of disclosure, must carry corporate brands on their tails.  Not the planes, the candidates.
  
• Corporations can pay blog writers (hint) to write speeches for Vice Presidential candidates.

I had better stop with the suggestions already.  I want the sell this damned blog first.
