Finding something in my email to restore a sense of humor in the
current political scene, is a large reward.

Rahm Emanuel, D-IL, looks to save the nation $100K by doing the
"Director of Lessons Learned" job:

Mr. Speaker, yesterday the President said we continue to be wise about
how we spend the people's money.

"Then why are we paying over $100,000 for a 'White House Director of
Lessons Learned'?

"Maybe I can save the taxpayers $100,000 by running through a few of
the lessons this White House should have learned by now.

"Lesson 1: When the Army Chief of Staff and the Secretary of State say
you are going to war without enough troops, you're going to war without
enough troops.

"Lesson 2: When 8.8 billion dollars of reconstruction funding
disappears from Iraq, and 2 billion dollars disappears from Katrina
relief, it's time to demand a little accountability.

"Lesson 3: When you've 'turned the corner' in Iraq more times than
Danica Patrick at the Indy 500, it means you are going in circles.

"Lesson 4: When the national weather service tells you a category 5
hurricane is heading for New Orleans, a category 5 hurricane is heading
to New Orleans.

"I would also ask the President why we're paying for two 'Ethics
Advisors' and a 'Director of Fact Checking.'

"They must be the only people in Washington who get more vacation time
than the President.

"Maybe the White House could consolidate these positions into a
Director of Irony."
