Super PACs aren't listed for two reasons.

  1. Though there is a Super PAC set up by people associated with the Clinton campaign, it is not technically a part of her campaign in the legal sense. She is not, as a candidate, allowed to "coordinate" with the Super PAC. There are ways around that, and the Super PAC will essentially be a deep pocketed arm of her campaign, but technically it's a separate organization.
  2. There are ways to make all donations to a Super PAC anonymous, by running them through a non-profit organization. The Super PAC is required to report its donors, but a non-profit dedicated to social welfare is not. So people donate to the non-profit, then the non-profit donates to the Super PAC, and then we have no idea who the source of the donations is.

Do you get any pushback from Marvel on the amount of computer sccience jokes in USG? I totally love them, btw, I just wouldn't think they'd have a very broad appeal.

(also I have always hated that problem with the 12 balls, 11 of the same weight)

It should be at the top of your pile. She eats nuts and kicks butts! And then also does computer science. It's hilarious.

Don't miss the footnotes at the bottom (this may only be a problem if you read them digitally). I managed to get about 10 pages in before I realized they were there, and I had to go back to the beginning and re-read them.
