Couldn't find a thread where this seemed to fit better, so in the sprit of TEd's initial post and Max's love of satire, the following news item:
Election Candidate Promises Corrupt Government - February 6, 2002
An Indian election candidate is promising to create a government full of corrupt ministers if he is elected. Narendra Singh Bhadauria says his Polkhol Party cabinet would be made up of turncoats and criminals as an ironic protest at current politicians. The 52-year-old is contesting an Assembly seat in the state of Lucknow, reports the Daily Pioneer.
Mr Bhadauria says he wants to draw attention to politicians who make fools of voters. He said: "If I get elected, I will beat all other politicians in producing scandals. If I form a Government, my Ministry will have all turncoats, mafia dons and criminals."
If he reaches the top, he's promised to have a government of no less than 150 ministers.
Someone send this guy a gift subscription to the board!
