State sanctioned pr[e]ying

It seemed that it was going to be a quiet news day here in the hills. But normal network programming has been interrupted by the local affiliates with this story.

I love a good political scandal even on this penny ante scale. I mean the entire amount of the bribes was less than $120,000. Our state lawmakers are not an ambitious lot. Boss Tweed wouldn’t have gotten out of bed for less than 6 mil. I can only surmise our politicos were too busy dismantling healthcare coverage for the poor in our state and protecting the sanctity of marriage from the godless homosexuals to aspire to more.
