News reports now confirm that charter member Sneering Plutocrat and ex-"CEO" of eBay Meg Whitman spent $180 million of her "own" money (read, money flayed from the backs of eBay users, shareholders and employees) in a "vain" attempt to be elected Governor of Gullyvornia. In fact, she was trounced by flower child geezer Jerry Brown by 13 points in a landslide. Ned's friends know that he scornfully derides the idea held by Republicans and their lickspittles and rentboys that sneering plutocrats should be allowed to amass ever increasing amounts of filthy lucre, and should be free to do with it as they wish, while the rest of us presumably slink to the back door of the compound and beg a few crumbs that the cat wouldn't eat. Let the debate recommence!
But do not shed any tears for Meg: she has recently been appointed by her co-sneering plutocrats to the HP Board of Directors, where she can pile up more millions by showing up and rubber-stamping HP management in much the same way that the Supreme Soviet "debated and then approved suggestions made by Comrade Stalin."
