Here is Forbes.com's list of the world's most corrupt countries. A list of dangerous and politically cronyist places to be sure, but also a suspicious list. Note that this is a list of World Bank/ IMF fund recipients and countries where it's hard to set up oil companies and low-wage textile and clothing shops. And note the language to color in the African countries.

And of course the USA is not corrupt at all.

Hey, did anyone else know that it's tax-free week on clothes and footwear (under $110)? Time to do a little bit more shopping.
