QOTD: "Think 'Sinkhole of bureaucracy' is just a metaphor? Well it is, but not just a metaphor, it’s also a Washington Post.com headline for an article written by David A. Fahrenthold and a place in Boyars Pennsylvania. It’s actually an old limestone mine where 600 government workers are employed by the Office of Personnel Management to process retiree benefits by hand, shuffling paper which they keep in 28,000 file cabinets. But not to worry the work is done at the speed of 1977.

I’m not sure just where David A. Fahrenthold is heading with this series [on government waste called "Breaking Points"] but I shall certainly keep my eye out for more articles. Breaking points is certainly an apt description of what government does and does to us. At some point I’m sure we’ll discover that the fault lies with white privilege or the Tea Party." --Bob Belvedere

Thank you for the link, Doug.

However, I cannot take credit for the bit you quoted, as the post was written by one of my contributors: Adobe Walls.
