So last week we had that horrible bout of global warming that set record lows throughout the country (has anyone spotted The Goron??), and freaking out like I usually do over cold weather, I went around checking the furnace a record-setting 15 times in two days, the pipes a record-breaking 25 times, and the heating pad every 15 minutes. Kids thought I was nuts until they had to go out to scoop up the dog poo (AHA! Glad it’s not my job). One of the things I did was set the two outside spigots on a slow drip, like an IV only not as cool or as life-saving. And God, in his infinite wisdom, mercy, and wicked sense of humor, sent me a miracle: (more…)
A Little Cheese With That Whine?
From The Hillicon Valley Blog:
White House budget director blames old computers for ineffective government.
A big reason why the government is inefficient and ineffective is because Washington has outdated technology, with federal workers having better computers at home than in the office.
This startling admission came Thursday from Peter Orszag, who manages the federal bureaucracy for President Barack Obama.
The public is getting a bad return on its tax dollars because government workers are operating with outdated technologies, Orszag said in a statement that kicked off a summit between Obama and dozens of corporate CEOs.
Firstly, it’s either “The reason is that…” or “This is because…” Secondly, no matter the amount of technology you throw at the government, it will always be inefficient, due to lack of training, too much red tape, etc. And thirdly, and most important of all, IF THIS ADMINISTRATION STOPPED WASTING OUR TAX DOLLARS ON WAYGU AND KOBE BEEF, WEDNESDAY PARTIES, BUYING JETS AND FLYING TO EVERY GLOBAL GET-TOGETHER, MAYBE YOU WOULD HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO UPDATE WHAT IS NECESSARY.
The White House release that included Orszag’s comments said one “specific source” of ineffective and inefficient government is the huge technology gap between the public and private sectors that results in billions of dollars in waste, slow and inadequate customer service and a lack of transparency about how dollars are spent.
So, they blame the lack of transparency on the so-called “oudated technology”? They’ve never heard of a “press conference”? Oh, wait….Obama hasn’t held one since July. But he is meeting with CEOs from Facebook, Craigslist, Microsoft, Adobe, Monster.com, among others. A meeting that has been in the works since April. My, how time flies.
It is a poor craftsman that blames his tools, Mr. Orszag. I am rather surprised the administration didn’t come out and blame President Bush for this right off. Wait for it…..
