Line of the Day
From the Post:
Buzz is that John Berry, .... director of the National Zoo, has accepted an Obama offer to be director of the Office of Personnel Management.
Insiders say he was named for his managerial prowess, not his animal husbandry skills, and that Obama is in no way comparing the bureaucracy to an enclosure full of poop-flinging monkeys. Nonetheless, some changes are in order:
--Annual pay increases replaced with "fresh straw"
--Use of tranquilizer darts automatically allowed 'for any meeting running over 30 minutes.
--OPM personnel required to wear khaki shirts and pith helmets.
--All Agencies to open gift shops featuring merchandise bearing image of "most adorable GS-9 you have available."
--EEO notices on office calendars replaced with "Alpha Wolf gets the Females - Deal With It."
--Organizational Charts replaced with "Exhibit Labels" that show each employee's "Natural habitat in task-space"
--'50s era-offices replaced with cage-free enclosures; subtle landscaping obscures tourists' views of electric fences, moats between them and DASs.
--Lemurs no longer in charge of Iran policy..
Warning! The Line of the Day is not an authorized infotainment product! It contains material not previously cleared/authored by Karl Rove. By definition, therefore, it is a farrago of lies and pretentious word choices. Only the part in bold is stolen from actual news sources.
