Job creation spurs flagging economy

In 2002 President George W. Bush did solemnly sign into law the Notification and Federal Employee Anti-discrimination and Retaliation (No FEAR) Act (which, given the grammatical and semantical crime scene that is its title, makes me wonder whether he also had a hand in naming it), requiring every federal agency to publish, quarterly, a lengthy report of statistics relating to complaints filed against it under some Equal Employment Opportunity program or other. Complaints are grouped into thought-provokingly specific categories ("appointment/hire", "termination", "reinstatement", "medical examination", etc.).

Check out this example from the Department of Agriculture. Is this governmental accountability in action or is this a rampantly scandalous waste of taxpayers' money? I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or sexually harass a Negress. Which should it be? You decide!

Good god. A post? In honor of that, I say sexually harass anyone you can. Politics comes afterwards.
