"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Chicago, Kiev are 'Sister Cities' of Corruption
Submitted by Michael Kleen on Fri, 2010-08-06 03:00
As a journalist in extremely corrupt Ukraine, I see so many parallels between Chicago and Ukraine politics. For example, pay-to-play, kickbacks, no transparency in decision-making, no seat at the table for the common folk, bribery, extortion by public officials/bureaucrats, etc. … Cordially, Mark R. in Kiev
Dear Mark in Kiev — Funny you should mention it. Our wise and powerful czar, Mayor Shortshanksovich, made Kiev one of Chicago's "Sister Cities" in 1991. See how much we have in common?
