No, Rick, that's not how it works.

"We oughta run our schools like a business!"

Of course! Like an assembly line factory turning out little widgets all of exactly the same type! It can't fail!

You mean Dick Perry, Dick Scott, Dick Snyder, Dick Santorum, Dick Cheney, etc.

Goes all the way back to Dick Nixon. They're all dicks, aren't they?

You mean like the Feds seize his ill-gotten gains (i.e., everything he owns), then he gets a Florida jury trial so he walks, then he becomes a vagrant wild man living in the swamps? Hiaasen might dream up something like that, maybe.

Assets (Income + graft \+\ payoffs \+\ bribes) = Liabilties (debts \+\ favors \+\ handouts \+\ jobs)

The math works out, so it's ethical.

Electronic voting has fantastic potential -- imagine if it takes at least an 80 IQ to figure out how to cast a vote!
