Government Corruption

Wow... some officials don't even seem to be trying to hide it any longer. Today's case in point... one of the FCC commissioners who strove mightily to prevent Internet network neutrality from getting traction there, and who, more recently, helped approve Comcast's merger with NBC, is leaving the commission to become a lobbyist for Comcast (link). Elapsed time from closing that deal as a government worker to starting a job with the corporation she was supposed to be regulating... four months.

...and that's The Way It Should Be. Good enough for the employees, good enough for the appointees, is my thinking.
