This just reminded me of an old friend of mine that I used to work with. He's a bread vender now, and a very conservative Republican (to the point of refusing to be on stage at his church when Obama came around to give a speech).

He told me the best job he ever had was back 30 or so years ago. He was volunteering to help a local politician, and after they won, he was given a cush 50k a year job. He said he literally did nothing but sit in an office and smoke dope all day, if he even went in. Noone ever asked anything of him. He flat out admitted, the job was simply a reward for the election assist. He was a little disappointed when the gig ended two years later when the guy lost his re-election.
