I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

STABBY STABBY STAB

When the Army Corps of Engineers solicited bids for drainage pumps for New Orleans, it copied the specifications — typos and all — from the catalog of the manufacturer that ultimately won the $32 million contract, a review of documents by The Associated Press found.

While it may not be a violation of federal regulations to adopt a company's technical specifications, it is frowned on, especially for large jobs like the MWI contract, because it could give the impression the job was rigged for the benefit of a certain company, contractors familiar with Corps practices say.

You think?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh no, Kathy, it was nice to be reminded of such a sweet kitty.

Dana, that makes me feel all GRRRR! I mean, I know by now how the world works, but that doesn't make it right.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Assholes. I also notice that their expert who says it's not a big deal wrote a book about which the summary says this, "The focus is selling, not how to comply with federal red tape and administer federal contracts."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh Army Corp of Engineers, you couldn't maintain the appearance of propriety for two years?

Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling.
