You Can't Make This Stuff Up, NY State Version
Almost as much fun as Rod Blagojovich, but that problem was solved fairly easily. This has been going on for forty years or so. Note that I also live in a state suffering from terminal legislative paralysis, for different reasons from NY.
It's true you can't make this stuff up, but an awfully game try is Preston Sturges' 1940 movie "The Great McGinty." If you don't know it, check it out--Netflix has it.
