The graph shows AT&T employee contributions to Senate Intelligence Committee chair Jay Rockefeller over the past several years. There weren't enough of them to fill out the graph until he got the chairman's gavel in early 2007. Then for some unexplained reason, the contributions skyrocketed. Same with Verizon.

Oh wait, it's completely explainable.

2. It will be interesting to see how he votes on it. I've always liked him - not that

I know that much about him, but respect that he's a Dem coming from that staunch republican family, and I've liked a few things I've heard him say.

3. We won't get control of our country back

until we have public financing of elections.
