I voted for "honest politician", mostly because the only way a group of people don't do politics is if no more than one is alive.

Of course "honest" really means "honest enough"; politicians who aren't honest enough become professional lobbyists. Or pundits.

Depends on what you mean by "honest". Where I come from, an "honest politician" is one who stays bought; he doesn't sell you out of someone later on bribes him, even if the new bribe is higher. He's got principles. Of course, where I come from, we also believe in ghosts - since dead people can vote here.	[reply]

Chicago or one of its suburbs? Voting could be very convenient, too. A friend's future mother-in-law went to vote (in one of the suburbs) and found out she already had! These small towns have such good services.... When I was in college in Chicago (at IIT), the concensus was that every city job (except, possibly, the police) was a patronage job. This is why Chicago had 5 men (this may not have included the driver) on a garbage truck (I think NYC had 3). It had nothing to do with union work rules; it had to do with maximizing opportunities for patronage positions. emc e^(π√−1) = −1	[reply]
