According to the Journal of Commerce, the head of the General Services Administration (GSA) and top staff got pink slips for spending $800,000 on a Las Vegas conference.
U.S. Rep. John L. Mica (R-FL) sniffed out that “the tab even included a clown for entertainment” and huffed that “this is just the tip of the iceberg.”
Boy, that’s for sure.
Riding lower on the conference iceberg was a mindreader, leading Rep. Mica to wonder “if the $3,200 mind reader told GSA officials that blowing more than $800,000 on a Vegas conference for a few hundred bureaucrats would get them fired?”
Silly question.
Mindreaders read minds, they don’t tell fortunes.
Fortune tellers tell fortunes.
Maybe they should have hired a fortune teller …

P.S Yeah, the expenses sound a little high, but c’mon, man … every conference I’ve ever been to has had some entertainment … and a mindreading act isn’t exactly el primo education.
Also, while I love to pick on gov’t waste, I’m told that the GSA does a pretty solid job.
