- Its International Anti-Corruption Day... No Really!

From the UN Linked site:
International Anti-Corruption Day is a time for political leaders, governments, legal bodies and lobby groups to work together against corruption work by promoting the day and the issues that surround this event.

Other activities that promote the day include: musicals and plays to publicize the message of fighting against corruption; keynote speeches by those who were victims of corruption or fought against it; essay competitions on issues surrounding the topic of corruption; and the dissemination of posters, flyers and other material to increase awareness levels on corruption.

In the US we celebrate this important International holiday by listening to the profanity laced phone calls of Midwestern politicians demanding adequate compensation before appointing political hacks to recently vacated US Senate seats, listening to the non-denial denial press briefings of the president elect whose seat was vacated (and who is of course... deeply saddened), and reading news stories about how recently indicted, rabidly anti-gun politicians are forced to hand over their firearms permits while under arrest by federal marshals.

I can't remember the last time I had so much fun reading the news. If this is what we can expect on a regular basis from the Obama administration it might just be be worth all the economic destruction and creeping socialism. If a teen age hooker and a transvestite drug dealer ooze to the surface over the next few days, I'm putting my house on the market and moving to Illinois.
