What does the US State Dept. & Montgomery Co. MD have in common?

They don't want to talk about it.

The State Dept.'s spokesperson admits that "mistakes were made" that resulted in the death of Ambassador Stevens and other Americans by terrorists in Benghazi, Libya two years ago; but, she says that the mistakes have been corrected and the State Dept. isn't going to talk about it. Really? It's none of the American people's business what mistakes were made and how they've been corrected? Really?!?

Montgomery County doesn't want to talk about their mistakes "managing" the severely flawed, yet-to-be-completed Silver Spring Transit Center either. The difference between Montgomery County and the US State Dept. is that Montgomery County hasn't admitted that they made mistakes "managing" the Silver Spring Transit Center. Really?!?

so much for transparent government.

a steaming pile of bs.

Aliens have taken over my computer

O, for the good old days,
when my computer was mine.

I could search, email, blog, etc. and not be bombarded by advertisements that my computer is slow (ain't that the truth!), that my video player and other software needs to be updated, that my computer has a virus, etc., etc., etc. 

When I could actually see the entire page of the website that I was on. That it wasn't half or more obscured by pop-up ads. When I could actually view an image without a pop-up ad hiding it.

Aliens have taken over my computer.
It's not mine; it's theirs.

What a drag!

Government solution to White House trespassers

You're dreaming, Charles. 
You're right; but, you're dreaming.

*************************************************************************************************

Problem: 
Man scales perimeter fence at White House, runs across lawn and enters White House.
Secret Service agents with dogs are nowhere to be found.

Government Solution:
Put another fence a few feet away from the perimeter fence.
http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2014/09/23/meet-the-new-white-house-fence-buffer-zone/

Result: 
Thousands of tourists are unable to take a photo of the White House. 
They can, however, take an excellent photo of the perimeter fence.

Common Sense Solution:

1. Identify the AWOL Secret Service agents who were supposed to be at the fence with dogs, but weren't.
2. Fire them and their supervisors.
3. Hire guards who will stand their posts with their dogs--no excuses.
4. Instruct guards to release dogs when trespassers scale the perimeter fence.
5. Hire supervisors who make sure that guards, who know that they're supposed to release their dog when a trespasser scales the perimeter fence, are at their posts with their dogs--no excuses.
6. Fire the person(s) whose idea that it was to put another fence a few feet from the perimeter fence.
7. Replace them with someone(s) who doesn't have their head(s) up their behind(s).

Result:

Thousands of tourists can take photos of the White House.

Reality check:

In the real (non-government) world, dereliction of duty and/or gross incompetence typically result in termination.

say what?

And here I thought that "hard of hearing" meant hearing aids (thousands of dollars).

What a racket! ... and, steaming pile of BS. 
(not auditory agnosia--the hearing aid industry)

Steaming pile of BS

The next time that a cop pulls you over for speeding, before the cop writes the ticket, say:

"WAIT!  
Let's see if any of these passerbys want to press charges first."



a steaming pile of BS

Party!

The verdict in the Backbiting Trial of the Century is in. Governor McDonnell and his wife are guilty. Check out the comments in social media: federal prosecutors and Democrats are raising their glasses in jubilation.

It’s Republicans this time. Based on history, there’s a 50-50 chance that it’ll be Democrats the next time.

Celebrate, hypocrites! Celebrate broken government. Celebrate backbiting. Celebrate hypocrisy. Celebrate yours and your government’s sinfulness. Celebrate tragedy.

Jesus said “Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 
John 8:7
