TBT Understanding Bureaucracy

 Bureaucratica 

Friday, August 20, 2010

Bureaucratica

Dedicated to fellow co-workers, the government employees who suffer working in the system we must have and yet 

always is a complicated quagmire of opposing political directives incrementally f*ing things up to the point of 

exhaustion on our part, the bureaucratic gnats who juggle, throw and dodge regulations to the best of their human abilities.

Bureaucratica,
Bureaucratica,

Give me more paper please,

Give me more ink, 



Print some more paper

Cure my bureaucratic dis-ease.
My well has run dry,

Criteria recalled,

Print protocols,

Criteria

Recalled.

My life is printer to mailbox,

Phone message to e-mail,

Paper or plastic

None of this rhymes.

I wonder just how,

We can juggle it all,

Then who will pay,
Where will it fall.

For now I am a bureaucrat,

Legislated to be here,

A paper pushing gnat

For another fiscal year.

Fighting back

Fighting For

Again, nothing will flood a state with 10 million standard capacity magazines faster than telling peaceable Americans you're gonna ban future sales -- especially when your tyannical "justification" is to blame them for crimes they never committed and that the ban won't prevent. https://t.co/xoDaqwqpiX

Gerrymandering Virginia History & Continued Hope

 I posted on X

The proposed gerrymandered map splices together communities that have little in common. Rural areas would be represented by NOVA politicians.

The intended consequence is clear: Silence the voices of rural, conservative Virginians. It’s wrong, and we’re fighting back. pic.twitter.com/N9ep2xyiJe

@vademocrats drew a new map for Representing Virginians. @POTUS
Irony? Most of US Democrat Senators claim verification of voter’s Proof of Identification is too difficult for people who are unable to fill out the forms or find birth or marriage certificates. Yet, this ballot…

Gerrymandering in Virginia on X

 

Virginia, alas, has got the blues. Our 2 U.S. Senators @timkaine and @MarkWarner Won’t vote as our representatives. They stand when their side stands, they sit together defiant in their childish reactions. Nah,nah,nah.@vademocrats new bill-banning paper ballots.
