I found it a good read, too.
Hey, it's not bribery when you have a legal setup for it. It's 'lobbying', 'post public office career options', 'match making fees', 'incentives for key stakeholders'. Wouldn't want to get in trouble in the vilage now, would we ? :)
Bribe joke is off a bit, too, given how much our laws and policies are driven by campaign contributions. America is strong on bribery. They just restrict it in ways that make sure the "right" people get the bribes. ;)
