The Execrable branch is headed by the Resident, so-called because he gets a free house. He is elected by the media after serving a four-year election campaign. The Resident has a sign on his desk that says "The Buck Stops Here" because once your money's gone to Washington it's never coming back.<br /><br />The Larcenous branch consists of the House of Reprehensibles and the Bloviate. Each state has a number of Reprehensibles who compete to impose as many new taxes as possible on other states in order to increase spending in their own. Bloviators are elected to make speeches lasting a fixed term of six years.<br /><br />The Jaundiced branch is a bunch of bitter old lawyers who think that they should be running the country. Their job is to ensure that contentious political issues are never settled through the political process.<br /><br />The system as a whole is called "checks and balances" because no matter who holds the balance of power the taxpayer has to cut them a check.AndrewZnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-52603145864907089542016-03-09T11:08:08.629+00:002016-03-09T11:08:08.629+00:00Thanks, I'll have a pop tonight too if the odd...Thanks, I'll have a pop tonight too if the odds are still long.<br /><br />Betfair gave me 17/2 on an Australian / India final in the World T20 the other day. That looks more like a 3/1 shot at the most to me, but I think it'll basically come down to whether Australia can beat South Africa or England in a Semi and 17/2 is a steal and leaves plenty of room to hedge if they both reach the semis.Steven_Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029437876479574883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-63457324194211977812016-03-09T00:02:42.402+00:002016-03-09T00:02:42.402+00:00One of the more interesting things has been the ov...One of the more interesting things has been the overt level of gerrymandering going on.
