4. PennyMan, a girl's gotta make a living...she's getting a bonus for that.
There was a huge sting in Chicago not too long ago, Project Grey Lord was the name, I believe. The Feds started small and found that quite a few Chicago judges were willing to exchange favors for cash. At the time, a prosecutor said that had a virtual rate card...simiple assault...$1000; manslaighter...$10,000...etc.

I've always wondered how the incentive system works for MediaWhores who do things like this, which happens all the time, including sins of omission. Is this a cash transaction, "Hey, Malveaux, here's a fist full of C notes, nice job" -- Is it a stay at one of the resort "properties" owned by a subsidiary, in which case it works out well for the parent corporation -- Is it, "Do this or you lose your job." I don't know but it would be nice to see who gets what for the constant big lie.
