People in power, corrupted by money... go figure.

Not surprised that they are corrupt.

Perhaps a little surprised that action is finally being taken...

Guy goes in front the judge and says he wants to change his name. The judge say well, what's your name now? Guy says John Shithead. Judge says I can certainly see why you want to change it, what name would you like? Guy says Fred, I have a cousin named John.
