Do you have the "Right" stuff?

A high paying federal job just might be yours, today!




Poll to come.

Been there done that. Well it wasn't an appointment but it was enough to make me say NO at the opportunity if it arose.....

i find it odd to think that at one point the spoils system was actually argued for as a means to democratize government. who would have guessed that the rich and powerful elite would turn it into a way to give their elite buddies cushy jobs to build those all-important connections with other elites? total shocker, that.

Wasn't that how Trickle Down Economics supposed to work? :D

Oh BS (Sorry about the initials) you forgot another choice for the poll:

"HE'S THE MOST BRILLIANT MAN I'VE EVER MET!!"

Totally agreed!

Why let a small thing like qualifications, and job experience stand in the way?

I assumed that was a given.

After all, YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED.

I want to know what that "oath" was to get into the Bush rally. I'll bet it's scary stuff.

I have two theories, both taken from popular films.

1. "I solemly swear, I am up to no good."

2. "One ring to rule them all....."
