In a nice little update to THIS story I posted yesterday, we find that the plot has thickened.

[[ Two state lawmakers backing a controversial plan to buy iPods for every schoolchild in Michigan were among a group of politicians who made a trip to California that was paid for at least in part by Apple, the maker of iPods. ]]

Now, whether or not there is something fishy here is up for debate... as one watchdog group put it, "Michigan lobbyist disclosure laws are so anemic that it may never be possible to know" if there was foul play afoot. Still, if you believe in these kinds of coincidences, then you should not be allowed to vote and hold a bank account.

This is, in my estimation, one of the very best examples we could hope to see of the liberal elite and their socialist/utopian agenda. You see, their plans always involve them getting lots of "bennies" while they are out planning what is best for the rest of us. Just think of the elaborate dachas the Soviet elite lived in while the population remained in unthinkable squalor.

Anyway, here you go:
