I Can Has a SuperPac

Agenda Item: Thursday, June 30 at 10:00 a.m.

Where will you be then? Stephen will be at 999 E Street NW in Washington D.C. or in other words at the Federal Election Commission to find out if he gets to have his SuperPac. He commented on the show that all six of the Commissioners are very good looking!

And then at approximately 11:00 a.m., Stephen will be outside and will let the world know that he got his SuperPac (or else he will come out crying because he did not get it). Trevor Potter was again on The Colbert Report to advise Stephen and he did tell him that there was a third option. The vote could go 3-3 which would be a tie and that would mean that it wasn't yes but it wasn't no.

Okay, now here is something really interesting. If you go to the Federal Election Commission website, you may notice a scrolling text at the bottom of the screen.

Information regarding Commission's June 30 public meeting.

Hmpf. I wonder what that could be about. Well, I'll just poke on the link and find out.

Okay, this is interesting. Here's what it says on the FEC website for Public Meeting of June 30, 2011:
