A corrupt Washington is paying us hush money
But the people will not be silenced about government corruption
Augusta Chronicle Editorial Staff
Corruption is an elusive bird with a siren's song
It's often hard to recognize corruption because its tools are suits and handshakes and fancy titles and serpent smiles, not guns or knives. But robbery is robbery.
It's difficult to acknowledge or confront corruption, because its victims are often paid off and made to be happy of it.

Prosecutorial Corruption
A Commentary by Susan Estrich
Corruption is a bad thing wherever you find it, and no profession or institution, from churches on Main Street to banks on Wall Street, is immune. You've got people who abuse the trust of shareholders and people who abuse the trust of voters; you've got cops who abuse their badges and professors who abuse their tenure. But in my book there is a special place by the devil's side for corrupt prosecutors.

Allen Stanford and the Democrats' Culture of Corruption
By Matt Lewis
Feb 18th 2009 1:49PM
Filed Under:eDemocrats (AOL news)
If you haven't heard, financier R. Allen Stanford has been busted for scamming his clients out of eight billion dollars, and he's apparently gone missing in an attempt too flee the country.
Now, maybe this is a bit petty of me, but I took a gander at Mr. Stanford's political contributions, and you'd be amazed where a lot of his money went - straight into the coffers of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC).

The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) measures the perceived level of public-sector corruption in 180 countries and territories around the world. The CPI is a "survey of surveys", based on 13 different expert and business surveys.
Fascinating stuff.

Is Henry Paulson a crony communist or a businessman? The answer could be the difference between economic disaster and recovery.
Understanding Paulson's role in stopping-or fueling-the credit crisis requires a review of two axioms from Economics 101: 1) A credit crisis occurs when banks stop lending and 2) The amount banks can lend is a multiple of the capital in their vaults.

Another kind of corruption
By Paul Greenberg
The headline on the news story read: "Corruption called way of politics in Illinois." This is news? In terms of sheer notoriety, popular legend and just general sleaziness, the Land of (gulp!) Lincoln may yet surpass even Louisiana, which has been called our only Mediterranean state.
