Some People Never Change

The Republican-controlled S.E.C. has ruled that corporate executives can conceal the extent of their compensation. So this is how we're going to deal with inequality in this country - pretend it doesn't exist, and try to shut the proles up by concealing information. How typical.

In response to Democrats offering a more open deliberative process in the House, the Republican minority has said that they are going to use the opportunity to embarrass Democratic freshmen. Nice. Watch this: the Republicans will use Democratic good will to blow up the House, and then when the the Democratic majority cracks down to end minority obstruction, the Republicans, aided by their lackeys in the press corps, will scream about the Democrats breaking their promise for greater bipartisan comity.

Apparently for Republicans, "shame" is a synonym for "sucker."
