A Pack of Amusement

I'm especially amused by the Stephen Colbert PAC.

"Knock knock?" Colbert said.
"Who's there?" asked the crowd.
"Unlimited union and corporate campaign contributions," Colbert said.
"Unlimited union and corporate campaign contributions who?" the crowd replied.
"That's the thing, I don't think I should have to tell you," Colbert replied.

The Freakonomics dudes think that campaign finance has a very minimal effect on elections. Actually, I'd like to think this is true as it would eliminate a big concern regarding democracy altogether.
