Missouri is moving further toward the the golden rule in politics. Them that gots the gold makes the rules.

Well, there's a brand spanking new political action committee (via the Missouri Ethics Commission):

That address, where have we seen it before? Oh, right, a lobbyist:

  LOBID:L000946     Received Date:12/31/1998
Lobbyist's Name Travis Brown Termination Date:

[emphasis added]

And the same phone number.

Well, what's that all about? Just asking.

This brand spanking new PAC got a really big contribution on the day it was formed:

CONTRIBUTION OF MORE THAN $5,000.00 RECEIVED BY ANY COMMITTEE FROM ANY SINGLE DONOR - TO BE FILED WITHIN 48 HOURS OF RECEIVING THE CONTRIBUTION

C111024 A SAFER MISSOURI [pdf] 1/23/2011

Rex Sinquefield
244 Bent Walnut
Westphalia, MO 65085
1/21/2011
$300,000.00

[emphasis added]

Go figure.

Wouldn't it be easier just to buy the whole state? Oh, sorry, my mistake. It's cheaper this way.
