[ Secrets From Inside The White House ]
This is one entertaining fucking read.
These are some facts I have witnessed and learned through my employment. Take it at face value, believe it or don’t believe it, because I’m not providing corroborating pictures, details, or evidence beyond my own testimony.
Homeland security buys in bulk and at great premium millions of dollars of useless personal appliances from China, such as rice cookers, nose hair trimmers, massage wands, and heating pads, boxes them up, and buries them in railroad shipping containers in the Arizona desert for no reason whatsoever other than to spend its budget and prevent sub-agencies from getting the funds. I suspect that the money goes to a middleman in order to secretly siphon funds into foreign organizations which we can’t support over the table, but this is just me trying to find a justification for this massive and intentional government waste.
Donald Rumsfeld needs to wear iced underwear because of some medical condition, and he has his secret service detail hold his spares. He was recently getting uncontrollable long-term erections and had to change up his medical treatments. The underwear and the erections is why he uses a standing desk, not because he is some super-man. He also wears nylon stockings, not because he’s gay, but to control some vascular problem with his legs which causes him intense pain.
There is a sealed room in the whitehouse which once held a half-ton block of cheese for about 30 years.
Before you call bullshit, take a read. There are a lot of folks who think that this is 100% true. A few of the facts have been backed up elsewhere, like the cheese story. Some of the stuff is scary, most of it is simply hilarious. And it’s exactly what you’d expect from the dude who wrote the greatest story ever told. (condensed)
Personally I don’t care if it’s true or not, especially considering the dude’s own personal politics. I just like the idea of Cheney gargling with a flask of peroxide and passing it around like an Oval Office doobie.
the fontI like the font
i’m supposed to believe this?Don’t get me wrong here. I don’t think this administration is above such things but c’mon, I need to have a little actual evidence before I even come close to deeming this credible.Second, how the hell does the cheese story back this up? Yes, Andrew Jackson wasted huge amounts of money on parties in the White House, this is well documented. What does this have to do with some story about a modern government department wasting money to keep its budget high?And in regards to the \”a lot of folks think it’s 100% true\”, what the hell does that matter? A lot of folks might think that the earth is flat but that doesnt make it true.
WOWWhat a great read about the room mate!!!
I agreeThe room mate epic was the best read I’ve had in years.
Adding to the storyI can’t speak for the White House overspending money but I can speak for the Army. While working on a US Army base overseas in the Power Zone (the Aafes electronics store), business skyrocketed near the end of the fiscal year. If their unit didn’t spend their entire budget, the following year’s budget would be reduced to meet what they spent that year. So, with a month left in the fiscal year and $10,000 left in the budget, plasma screen TVs and high-end digital cameras became part of the budget. I would get so frustrated when I’d talk someone into buying our best digital camera, only to hear them say they’d take 5 and to charge them to their account (which had a name…which I can’t remember).Things like this seemed more commonplace than once in a while things. Another example was the gas costs. The government gives Aafes a substantial tax break (and I believe a discounted cost) on gas…, yet, while gas prices in the States were around $1.10-$1.25, military members were paying over $2.00 per gallon. They were screwing over the soldiers and still getting their government tax breaks.Whether or not the guy’s story is true, it can’t be too far off.
wicked storythat was a really good story thats all i can say totally worth the reading
YeaIt was more like a movie, i could picture what he was saying in my head….Very Cool.
