True story: A couple of friends, sitting around one night, slamming back shots and talking. Somehow we got on the topic of government corruption. We quickly narrowed this topic to government corruption in the US because if you include African countries or China or Arabia you can quickly get bogged down by the almost unbelievable levels that corruption can take. So, US corruption: we flipped through the States and ended up with two semi-winners: Washington, DC, i.e. the Federal Government (not the local DC government which has no power over anything, but is corrupt in its own small way) and Florida. OK, so I know that DC represents like ALL the States and Florida is only one, lone, State, so the playing field is far from level, but that's where we ended up. Blame the shots. So, we're talking and it's getting louder and someone who is promoting Florida says: "Yeah, but in Florida dead people VOTE!" Well, that was quickly followed by a promoter of DC yelling back: "That's NOTHING! In Washington dead people are ELECTED!"
