hill staffers
A Hill staffer (or at least a hobo squatter of some sort) sends us this picture of the latest technological monstrosity to be installed at the new-ish Capitol Visitors Center, which serves as a federal testing ground for expensive nonsense that goes way past budget. What is this new machine, and what are its feelings [...]
An ecstatic Hill staffer spreads the good news — nay, the best news for Hill staffers in probably their whole lives! “Here is a picture of the cock-tease hot dog vending machine that has been inoperable for the past 6 months. With the passage of health care reform which means free coverage for everyone except [...]
One of these days, this furious backwards-faxing immigration goblin is going to set aside his rage for a few seconds to learn how to load a piece of paper into a fax machine properly, and from then on he will no longer have to press his magic marker hard enough for it to bleed legibly [...]
Fast-track that resolution, Boner! A Hill operative sends us this photo and writes, “The War on Christmas is alive and well in the House of Representatives. This Christmas tree was seen discarded on the 2nd floor of the Longworth House Office Building.” Oh that’s no Christmas tree, just an aborted tree fetus. But why is [...]
We have EMAIL PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE that Rep. Jim McDermott’s executive assistant/office manager/scheduler/pet dragon Elizabeth “Liz” Becton, the Meanest Lady in DC, was not simply having a “bad day” when she went nuts on someone, over e-mail, who mistakenly saluted her as “Liz.” Below are two more of Liz Becton’s run-ins with e-mail, in which she [...]
Politico WON THE MORNING today, and that’s not even an overused joke — it truly won! And the Shenanigans blog isn’t under the Link Ban, so ta-da: a link! The story is about an executive assistant at “McBee Strategic” e-mailing Elizabeth Becton, scheduler for Democratic Rep. Jim McDermott, to set up a meeting. Becton doesn’t [...]
A Hill staffer sends us this terrifying, confusing fax that just came in. Some Mexican just goin’ nuts. Complete insanity. What the fuck is this? “Borders are the arbitrary” WHAT? WHAT? Oh! The New Republic‘s Jeffrey Rosen tells us that his legal friends heard from their legal friends who heard from Sally who heard from [...]
‘Tis but one more moon until Tax Party Day, so Hill staffers should expect a veritable Ejaculation of insane teabagging art pamphlet mail today from their proudly Bitter constituents, who have become rather deft practitioners of the Microsoft Publisher application on their Hansen Writing Balls. Thank you to Hill operative “Bilbo” for the above letter.
A Hill staffer informs us that the Congressional Mail Room Security People are starting to go Code Mango on all tea bag anthrax letters, which is a tragedy, because now staffers can’t send us comical photos of the tea bags (unless they’re faxes!) And no more free treats for these poor worker bees! There’s always [...]
A Hill staffer sends us this comical image and writes: “This fridge is located outside of the House Republican Conference in Longworth House Building. They seem to be moving offices, and this is a note they have attached to their fridge.” Be sure to read the very end, in which the Chocolate Milk Nazis note [...]
A Senate staffer has heeded our call for pictures of Tea Party teabagger anthrax threat letters, and here we are. For those of you who are no longer able to decipher human handwriting, it reads, “THE SECOND AMERICAN REVOLUTION IS A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY,” and is written on the inside of the envelope. The tea… [...]
Perhaps in honor of CPAC, but with no mention of CPAC at all, the Washington Post has run a delightful “color piece” this morning about what it’s for young Republican hatchlings looking for work in Washington, where they are no longer welcome. Basically there are about seven of these people, total, all gaming for one [...]
