FTR, I am joking about having mafia heavies kill or intimidate policritters.

Post by: vaskidmark on March 16, 2013, 07:24:55 PM: If I send you unmarked bills, none bigger than $20, will I still be put on a trrrist list?

If so, please see if it can be the No-Fly one.

stay safe.

PS - you won't mind if there are traces of narcotics on the bills, will you?

Move to Massachusetts. They don't bother to buy politicians - most of them are grown locally. The few that are needed to fill up the seats are merely rented, and traded in at the end of the season. (Scot Brown, Fauxahontas, et al.)

Will this start a "politicians" war between the states - how many indicted/convicted Speakers of the House equals an indicted/convicted Governor? And on a personal note, I do not care how many bi-polar addicts a state has for a Representative - there is no way they can match the killing power of a Senator's car.

stay safe.

Come on. Seriously. Compared to Illinois, everyone else is fighting for second place.

Since 1971, over 1000 Chicago politicians have gone to jail.

Plus we've sent four of the last nine governors to Club Fed (two others were acquitted).

I can't think of a better place for policritters then behind bars. ;)
