How do any of these political/criminal events connect with the rush for these connected leaders/criminals to recently !physically! travel to Antarctica?

Is that guy claiming to be the illegitimate son of WJC really his son?

Would a good start at keeping the system clean in the future include ensuring the salary of every Senator and House Rep is determined by the average pay of the people they each represent?

That and getting rid of lobbying would make Public Service in these positions look less appealing to the money-making-inclined. If the Mister/Missus-Smith-going-to-Washington was truly passionate about issues his/her constituents faced, somehow, I think we'd find the money wasn't all that important to him/her, anyway.
