re: #371 palomino

Sure, I accept all that. But if Bobby Jindal gets elected Prez, does it really make sense to start talking about Huey Long and the long line of neer-do-wells in that state’s political history? Louisiana might even have Chitown beat.

not really, but Chicago has institutionalized corruption…it’s part of the fabric of American politics…another is NM where I live, same exact thing on a smaller scale…corruption out here is generally accepted as business as usual…I don’t mind so much as long as the corruption does not involve murder and mayhem and it pretty much doesn’t in Chicago…but Chicago is a fabulous gold mine, there for the taking….you can inspect manhole covers and make 200k a year with heavy perks
