RESIZE: AAA

This has been circulating around the Hill today; some kind, cruel soul from there took the trouble to forward it to me.  Twenty-four hours and they still haven’t fixed recovery.gov: remember how we got told that the new administration was going to bring us into this new, wonderful Web 2.0 reality? These guys can’t even get a database up and running properly. Heck, they can’t even be bothered to check typical search results for garbage before they take said database live.

SEN. LEGHORN ANNOUNCES $14.7 MILLION FOR TEXAS; ‘YEE, HAW!’ HE ADDS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*

WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Foghorn J. Leghorn, D-State, announced Tuesday that he had won an extra $14.7 million in stimulating funds from the solicitous Obama Administration for the people of seven congressional districts in Texas.

“This funding will go for good,” the Senator said.  “Why, son, 98 hardworking, taxpaying, aging, poor, honest, hungry, working-class, middle-class, undereducated, disadvantaged, undercounted, overlooked, underprivileged, overtaxed and uninsured constituents of my good friends and esteemed colleagues in the 52nd, 58th, 86th, 00th, 68th, 91st, and 85th Congressional Districts of Texas deserve every penny,” he added.  “Yep, they can shore count on me.  Vote Leghorn!  Yee, haw!”

Following is an official, premeditated account* of the stimulating funds provided by the Obama Administration through Sen. Leghorn’s good offices:

Texas Congressional District    Jobs      Amount

52nd congressional district     0       $8,937,289
58th congressional district     45      $3,659,694
86th congressional district     6       $943,326
00 congressional district       11      $752,292
68th congressional district     1       $310,963
91st congressional district     30      $57,367
85th congressional district     5       $56,661

Stimulus Total: $14,717,592

Jobs Total: 98

*Please don’t call Sen. Leghorn’s office about this.  He’s busy working on health care today.  For further information on this gracious investment of job-creating government money, please “track the money” through the President’s Recovery website, http://www.recovery.gov/Pages/TextView.aspx?data=stateSummaryAllCD&statecode=TX

    The latest poll has TX-45 R+20 and the former Republican congressman George P. Dawg has a good feeling that he will return to the seat he has held off and on for a total of 12 terms.

    This is monumental political incompetence by the Obama administration. It is not just one or two phantom districts and not even in one or two states. Are there worse things that they are doing wrong? Yes, but this is so incompetent that it is a joke.

    I think you should have written:

    Some people on the Hill actually have a sense of humor. :)

    In some was, Obama is Khan and not Spock. The only thing doesn’t make him a good Khan is his lack of Moby Dick quotes.

  • Richard Mullins

    he has a following too.

    But first they need to get the congressional districts right. And then they need to make the data believable. Hopey and Changey.

    I want that job man. No more sleepless nights. Monitor, performance checks, data integrity, alerts, DR, escalation, root cause and all the nonsense.

    “Tomorrow, more than 100,000 recipient reports will be posted on Recovery.gov,” DeSeve said. “Unlike the small number of reports reviewed by AP, these reports have been reviewed for weeks, errors have been spotted and corrected, and additional layers of review by state and local governments have further improved the data quality.”

    Not only is Mickey Mouse registered to vote in TX-58, thanks to ACORN, he now has two jobs.

    …if Kay Bailey Hutchison hadn’t suddenly decided not to resign her Senate seat after all only a few months before the primary during the last governor’s race, leaving Dawg, who’d spent all his time prepping a run for the Senate, out in the cold. ;-)

    Recovery.gov is a microcosm of waste, fraud and abuse throughout entire government
