Bush Seeks to Rule The Bureaucracy - Appointments Aim at White House Control

President Bush has ousted Saddam Hussein, toppled the Taliban and defeated the Democrats, but last week he took aim at a more enduring foe: the federal bureaucracy.

In a flurry of actions in recent days, he and his top lieutenants have taken steps to quell dissent at two fractious agencies -- the CIA and the State Department -- and to increase White House control over others, including the Justice and Education departments.

The White House moves, and similar changes anticipated at other departments, are likely to quiet some of the already infrequent dissent that has leaked from agencies during Bush's first term. They may also put a more conservative stamp on the bureaucracy's administration of the laws and making of rules on everything from the environment to business to health care.

Look, we ALL know that the federal government could use a little efficiency, well...okay, a LOT. And no one is surprised that Bush wants a supportive cabinet. All this is well and good except for the fact the Bush et al wants to SHAPE these agencies to fit the ideologies of their agenda. They want not only to change HOW the federal agencies do their job, but WHAT they should be doing as well. And, that WHAT is geared more towards an ideology that favors big business and brash foreign policy than you.

So, to those poor souls who will have to put up with at least 4 years of loyalist dolts who's experience takes a back seat to their loyalty to the King...errr...President, I say this:

LEAVE!

Get a job somewhere else, doing something else. Do something really fun, or useful, or profitable and do it for yourself. Forget your ideals about serving the greater good or the country, 'cause your new bosses certainly don't care about that stuff. Let the political ass-kissers try to figure it out for themselves. I'm SURE they will do a great job.

And, for the political ass-kissers whom have probably never really worked a day in their lives I leave you with a quote from one of my favorite movies:

"Look, the people you are after are the people you depend on. We cook your meals, we drive your ambulances. We connect your calls, we guard you while you sleep. Do not... fuck with us."

The beatings will continue until morale improves.
