Corrupt politicians? We got nothin’ on Romania

| February 7, 2017

Romania, as you may recall, was the home of Nadia Comenic, the Olympic preztel – er,  gymnast who never smiled but could twist herself into Silly Putty on legs.

Back when the Soviet Union disintegrated, Romania managed somehow to stay intact and is now running itself. Unfortunately, the Romanian population doesn’t appreciate low-level corruption in politics quite as much as we do here in the US of A and is dead set on putting those wankers in jail. They’ve had low-level corruption for a long time, and people are tired of it.

The low-level corruption immunity has been revoked, but the people of Romania are protesting the possibility that it is nothing more than a gesture, and the corruption will continue unabated unless they succeed in demanding jail for these jackasses.

What a novel idea: make a bad politician face the consequences of her slimy behavior.  Could we do that here? There’s an empty prison around here some place. The townspeople could use the wages if we sent all those greedy slugs there for a little cooling time.

Just a thought for Tuesday morning.

If we put all crooked politicians in jail, we would be building new prisons for 10 years! On the bright side of this, it would put an awful lot of people to work??

Yep, not only construction and Skilled Labor jobs ( Plumbers, Welders, Electricians,..) but they’ll need people to permanently staff those facilities!

I don’t know about how y’alls prisons are run, but in Texas the inmates do the plumbing, welding, electrician’s work, etc.

We do employ COs to watch the prisoners work, though.

In unrelated news, they’ve now padlocked the bathrooms on our floor until some indeterminate time when they can be repaired.

Hey, did Rod “It’s F’ing Golden” Blagojevich get pardoned by JEF?

JEF????
Remember – I ain’t the sharpest knife in the drawer……

Not only no, but his daughter is pissed, and sent the JEF a big sad letter about how she had faith in him, but he broke her heart…

Fertilizer?

That is why a good hemp rope is the ultimate solution. My fave ultimate solution is what the Romanian military commanders did with their former fearless leader–a ten minute trial and a firing squad. Then, corruption problem solved. The chi-coms also seem to resort to this solution for serious low level corruption.

Can we import some of those ‘non-appreciative’ folks to Chicago? No one else has been able to clean it up.

Fjardeson

I think Chi-town is so screwed up, the only thing that will fix it is a W-80. Make sure Rahm is in town!

Compare Chicago and Detroit from August 1945 to today, then do the same with Hiroshima and Nagasaki and one would come to the conclusion that decades of d -rat rule is worse than getting nuked!
