Well, sure. you can watch teenage girls gripe about homework on “16 and Pregnant,” eavesdrop on catfights between “The Real Housewives of new Jersey,” and dip into the rantings of Sean Hannity on Fox and Al Sharpton on MSNBC.

Whoever graffiti’d Governor Tom Corbett’s house with some sort of “Wolf PAC” drawing isn’t speaking up and the group has denounced the lame art. In fact, Wolf PAC’s founder is none other than Cenk Uygur, that awkward guy from MSNBC whose former show, titled “They gave this guy a TV show?” was cancelled a few months ago and replaced by the Reverend Al Sharpton. Uygur, who once challenged Michael Smerconish to a fist fight, says the point of the group is to make congress pass an amendment – at a constitutional convention – outlawing corporate influence in government. Such legislation is unofficially referred to as the “Good luck with that” bill and is being considered by the “When Pigs Fly” committee. it currently has no sponsors or co-sponsors. Or chance. but, yeah, good for you. Graffiti still isn’t cool.
