    Another sad episode has landed in my inbox this weekend on new and innovative ways of wasting money. And the ironic thing is that I've been accustomed to so many stories on waste and gross ineptitude that this normally wouldn't have phased me if it didn't involve one my me favorite shows.

    So you're asking yourself: Which part of our over-governing federat..er, federal government is it this time and what did they do?

    Fan Boys, take note on what NOT to do with other people's money.

    {Click below the fold to find out}.

    At first when this came into me, I thought that it was another joke.

    No, this isn't about another swanky "conference" in some nice locale on some topic most people haven't heard about. Besides, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

    No, this isn't about a frontline aircraft that has killed more of our own pilots than the bad guys.

    And no, this isn't about $800 toilet seats either (Rep. Rogers', shame on you!!!).

    This is what happens when you take the most dangerous federal agency (thank you Pres. Wilson) and turn them loose with no accountability whatsoever.

    Yes, our own government decided that it was a prudent expenditure to spend $60K on just this "training" video.

    Then after they spent the money, felt it wasn't a good idea after all.

    In a released statement on the video, the IRS said,

    "The IRS recognizes and takes seriously our obligation to be good stewards of government resources and taxpayer dollars...There is no mistaking that this video did not reflect the best stewardship of resources."

    And...someone is going to get "docked" $60k from their paycheck when?

    But take heart. The government hasn't spoiled the memory of only one of your favorite shows from years gone by. There is also another "training" video. This time featuring a parody of "Gilligan's Island" of all shows (ironic since with the notable exception of the Howell's, no else used money on that show either).

    Why am I working 60+ hours weeks to pay for this garbage?

    Stay tuned...

    but somewhere yesterday it was discovered that the IRS has their OWN studio to produce this sh!t.  I will find it and post it.

    And a poster also said they had to go to their local SS office to straighten out some error and these parodies are played on a constant loop on a nice big flat screen TV in the waiting room.  One of the them actually used an original actor from Star Wars - George Tiake (sp).

    taxpayer dollars pissed away on a one night stand in Paris by the bufoon VP Biden and now they discovered an additional $321K spent on limos for his staff for the one night stay.  

    Yup our taxes went up so these a$$wipes can waste it faster than I am making it.  I am exhausted!!!
