as corrupt as they come
Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 300 employees and has the following statistics?:
* 30 have been accused of spousal abuse.
* 9 have been arrested for fraud.
* 14 have been accused of writing bad cheques.
* 95 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses.
* 4 have done time for assault.
* 55 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit.
* 12 have been arrested on drug related charges.
* 4 have been arrested for shoplifting.
* 16 are currently defendants in lawsuits.
* 62 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year.
Can you guess which organization this is?
It is the 301 MP's in the Canadian Parliament. The same group that cranks out hundred of new laws designed to keep the rest of us in line.
Which one did you vote for?
TAKEN FROM THE OTTAWA CITIZEN
Brutal!!! The good old Canadian government has got its fair share of corruption, but thinking about it, I bet most countries have similar rogue's galleries in their legislature. Just imagine what it looks like in Argentina, Rwanda or France. Then again, I wonder what the role call would look like for US legislators? Tom Delay come to mind?
