Yes, that is Representative Shelley Berkley (D-NV) with our good friend Yucca Mountain Johnny, square-jawed defender of America’s right (nay, responsibility) to dump nuclear waste wherever we see fit. The Honorable Ms. Berkley presumably learned about YMJ from us, as we are the universally acknowledged leader in finding goofy Federal Government Websites For Kids and making fun of them. We didn’t bother to pay attention to what Berkley was saying, but we assume she’s just praising the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management for their fine illustration skills and ability to keep their finger on the pulse of America’s Youth.

To prove that they, too, are just like us, Dubai Ports World has a very helpful, very informative, very half-assed kids site, explaining who they are, what they do, and why we should let them run our ports.
