Yeah, Government Sure Is Different, Now

Aren't you glad of the sweeping changes brought into the government by PBO? You know, the "change" and "hope" we were all innundated with ad nauseum by the lap dogs...I mean the mainstream media. This was going to restore government to the way things should be. Yeah.

So, tucked away in the stimulus bill...you know, the Confiscation Of Your Hard Earned Money To Be Given Away As A Reward To Liberal Cronies Act of 2009...is $2 Billion (Billion, with a B) to be handed over to the National Parks. Yep, that'll stimulate the economy. Oh wait, who is the lobbyist for the parks? The son of the man in charge of the Appropriations Committee? Wow. I guess if the father and son were Republicans, the media would recognize a conflict of interest.

I digress. A constituent (that means a voter from his district) of the above mentioned committee chairman tries to ask about the $2 Billion. He approaches an aide to the elected official who works for the constituent. This is fairly similar to the owner of a business going up to the admin assistant of the middle level manager who works for the company.

Does the constituent get an explanation? Does he get the time of day? Nay, nay. He gets chewed out, subjected to an angry rant by the aide of the man who works for him.

Gosh, it's soooo nice to see all of this change.
