Comcast will pay $110,000 to sponsor a major dinner honoring FCC commissioner Mignon Clyburn at the same time the regulator is considering whether to approve the cable company's application to acquire Time Warner Cable.

In a barely noticed Senate lobbying disclosure released last month, Time Warner Cable admitted it was also spending $22,000 of its subscribers' money on the same meal.

    I normally stay out of political discourse. But I will make an exception this time. If this sort of thing bothers you, as id does me, take a look at the mayday [mayday.us] SuperPAC, the PAC to end all PACs. This PAC is in the business of getting campaign reform and getting the money out of politics.
