What Have You Done For Me Lately?

Via the Daily Caller, The latest rumor coming out of Washington is that the Prez, miffed that corporations and unions now have the ability to look after their own interests, will be issuing an executive order to reduce corruption in the issuance of government contracts.

Reduce corruption? I hear you say. What Chicago pol would knowingly cut his own throat like that?

Well, not this one. The way it works is that it would require all companies that sign contracts with the federal government to report on the personal political activities of their officers and directors, to include all political contributions to or expenditures on behalf of political candidates. Want to keep that contract? Make sure you've demonstrated your friendship and support of the administration, and in case of a tie, the friendliest company will win.

It's how they do it in Zimbabwe.
