Indian comedian starts pro-bribe political party

A PROMINENT Indian comedian is taking aim at the country's notoriously corrupt political elite by starting up his own party that promises to bribe as many voters as possible.
Jaspal Bhatti, known for his biting satire on Indian TV shows, unveiled his new party and field of candidates today - saying he hoped to give the big parties a run for their dirty money.

"The world is talking of economic slowdown but there is no recession for our politicians, who are spending millions to win seats in parliament," Bhatti said.

He said his new "Recession Party" did not have enough cash to outspend the big political players, but would instead handsomely reward contributors if elected.

Man, if it doesn't rain it pours!

The financial crises, the economic downturn, climate change, bird flu, swine flu, plague....whats next?

Mmmmm....sounds very much like the bible was right about the last days being upon us. I think Nostradamus also predicted around 2012 being the defining year. Good times ahead

Australian Federal Police acting Commissioner Tony Negus and Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Simon Overland spoke about the raids in Melbourne this morning.
