Waste and Gotta Get Wasted

This is both Democrats and Republicans. It a nonpartisan cluster affair!!!

Sometimes our elected officials never cease to amaze me.

Do you remember the $600 toilet seat and the $400 hammer purchases the Government made in the 1980's?

That was cheap!!

The Government should hire my wife to do their shopping and I guarantee you she could save hundreds of billions of our hard-earned money.

How you say?

Well take a look at some of the things your government shoppers pay for items:

The Pentagon is buying $20 plastic ice-cube trays.

That's right, 99 cents at the Dollar Store or $20 each from a Pentagon vendor.

In the spring of 2004, the Pentagon paid $1,000 each for hot plates, even though it had previously bought the same ones for $450.

The Pentagon shelled out $22,797 apiece for 34-inch refrigerators. It costs $99.99 at Lowe's!

Since the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) initiated what it calls the prime vendor program, the Pentagon has been encouraged to buy from a cherrypicked group of manufacturers.

The idea is to favor vendors who will speed up the delivery of goods to our military bases.

It's a great deal - for the manufacturers, that is.

They don't have to worry much about competitive bids, which means they can charge absurd prices for their products and services.

I bet my wife could team up with Target and WalMart for a lot lower prices on purchases with Fed EX and UPS for delivery, and I bet she can beat the delivery time the Government is experiencing now!!





Switching gears,

How many of you have become hooked on all the poker games that are on TV?

I know I sure have, but how would you like to win this?



Girl Allegedly Offered as Bride to Settle Debt

The 17-year-old was to be surrendered as a bride for the son of Lal Haider, the man who won the card game years before.

Umrani said her husband was a gambler who ran up the $165 debt at a poker game when Rasheeda was 1 year old. He promised Haider that he would get Rasheeda in lieu of payment when she grew up, the mother said.

Man you gotta know when to hold them and know when to fold them.

The winner should have folded them. I bet his son has got to hate his Dad now after this prize!!!




This would require a lot of alcohol!!!







Party on dudes and dudettes. Join me again tomorrow for more of less!!!!
