[Mishmash] Why We Should Trust Governmentr Workers

[Hugh Gigante]

Ok, so here's another case of the putz mobile being home to government.

My nephew became an eagle scout Saturday. No in scouting thats a pretty big deal, especially since his two older brothers are also eagle scouts.

So, you get this celebration . .  .attended by his troup (friends), family (us), church pastor, and a whole bunch of local political hacks looking for a photo-op.

And they each bring their own photographer (like in the twon picture of gaping primates is going to differ from the county picture). So, we had four on-the-clock photographers joined by an on-the-clock police officer (to give the commissioners award) and a bunch of on-the-clock aides sitting around not doing a whole lot of anything productive.

Imagine if any of these fools had been elected to something higher than deputy sanitation commissioner!

  Hugh, that was so funny.  Sorry, I couldn't help but laughing at that conversation.

    I pay my taxes direct.

    This is how my conversation with our local town tax department went:

    Me: "I don't have a bill for this quarter's taxes."
    Clerk: "They have not been sent out yet."
    Me: "Aren't they due on January 10th?"
    Clerk: "Yes."
    Me: "Can you tell me the amount so I cvan pay it?"
    Clerk: "No. You can't pay without the bill."
    Me: "When will bills be sent?"
    Clerk: "later this month."
    Me: "Will there be a late fee."
    Clerk:" Of course. All the taxes will be paid late because we sent the bills out late. The law says we must charge a late fee if they are paid late."
    Me: "Who made that law".
    Clerk: "We did."

    There really should be a license people need before they are allowed to breed!
