Waste in the government

Okay, it’s a given, but Old NFO has a bunch of stuff pulled from Sen. Tom Coburn’s Wastebook 2011.  And I thought of this scene from the movie ‘Dave’ (embedding disabled so you’ll have to follow the link).  So why can’t the government catch a clue or figure out that all of these things are outside of the purview of the federal government and let them go?? 

Re-elect NO ONE!
