Rally Congress on ENDA

[lisagurl]

New Zealand's politics has been hit by a parliamentary expenses scandal.

It involves the misuse of official credit cards by members of the last Labour government.

One MP, marked out as a possible leader of the Labour party, admitted to charging 20 pornographic films to his official card.

Thank heavens Star Trek conventions aren't like that!!

Yeah, it would be hard to find 1/2 a personality at a Star Trek Convention, in total.

Yet we're still the least corrupt nation in the world
Well you'll grow up someday, one person's corruption is just someone else's business as usual in New Jersey, or New York, or Illinois, or Louisiana, or South Dakota, or...

That might well be true.  I thought there were sections of the US that were corrupt until I traveled overseas and found out that the local officials (just about everywhere except Europe) wouldn't even talk to you until you passed them some cash.  It's not corruption to them, it's a major part of their salary.
