#1 and that during that time, the school's state allocation skyrocketed Bryant was hired only for his "political juice."

And a Demo-donk to boot. What an amazing surprise.

#2 And he did good, too.

Invested: $35,000 per year for influence.

Apparent influence returned: $10,000,000

Return on investment: 28,571 percent.

Any free-entrprise guy would applaud that! I even bet that beats Hillary's investments in the '90's.

Illegal, you say?

Well ..... could be.

#3 NJ politicians are beyond absurd in their abuse of the system. The machine is so entrenched and it has happened so often on both sides of the aisle I'm not so sure anyone cares anymore other than federal prosecuters. It's certainly a sad state of affairs.

#4 Think of it this way; New Jersey has only one way to go....up.

#5 Personally, I blame Toll Roads. These donks get their corruption training from Toll Commissions. Chicago and Cook County, IL can't be far behind NJ.

#6 Situation in Tallahassee at FAMU had a booster giving a cool million to the school for an eminent professor chair. The state matched the donors million. (2 million okay, stay with me here) The donor is a Memphis lawyer who borrowed all money at little more than prime. At the time 5 percentum. Donor is tapped to be the eminent professor! Pay is $100,000 per annum. :> Life is good, especially since an eminent professor ~~never~~ only visits couple times a year.

I will leave the ROI as an exercise.

#7 New Jersey, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the State Legislature.

Her five hundred year mission: to exploit strange new sources of wealth. To seek out new marks
and new taxpayers. To boldly loot where no politician has stolen before.

#8 Being a senator is a no-work job.

#9 When a New Orleans newspaper features you on a story on out of state corruption, you know you're corrupt...
