Too funny

Phone company cuts off FBI when it fails to pay its phone bills.

This is so sad. And hilarious. My tax dollars at work, eh?

Or lack thereof. Tax cuts, you know :-)

I heard on the radio today. It is sad...and a bit scary. Given how important homeland security is one would think the FBI would have more money to upgrade their systems. Oh wait...that would take forethought and planning. Things that our government have been good at...

Bahahaaha! This is indeed funny. :D

No more tapping I suppose? I wonder how they manage to forget to pay the bill? Poor accounting I say!!!

That's okay...they aren't alone. My sister who works for the part of the government that manages their vehicle fleet for the federal government said they hadn't been paid by the secret service in THREE years! OMG! I guess these people think they don't have to pay because they are doing such important jobs. Something's wrong with this picture! And I was just thinking I should be working for the government...they have the best danged retirement plans out there! (sigh) Maybe it's due to not paying their other bills *vbg*

I read that today. Apparently their accounts system is from the 80's. *shakes head* Sounds like the 1880's to me :)

Yes, it is sad. And I just read that articale this morning! I didn't really think that they would get the FBI for something like that...but I guess anything's possible!
