Every state, every county in every state, every federal agency; is run in exactly the same manner as Howie so piquantly describes his fellow Massholes.
Howie, of course concentrates on the cream layer. Under the high-roller hacks, there is a legion, many legions actually, of low-roller hacks who only make in the high 5 figures and whose pensions are only in the mid-5 figure range!
To be fair, the actual work of many agencies (DMV etc) is actually done by mid-5 figure (and lower) people who actually may be required to show up and "serve" you in the desultory fashion we have come to know and love.

He did a couple of Star Trek TOS epis, and some later ST stuff.
However, he was married to one Judith Campbell Exner.
Do you think Howie will comment on it?
FWIW, Exner last partied in 1999.
