Rhubarb Pie: The county admin building is no better. Why?

"That's where the Antlers of Perfect Justice drink your blood when the jury reaches the inevitable "guilty" verdict and the judge casts you out the window. I'm surprised it wasn't flowing red when I snapped that shot. Too early in the day, I guess."
