Maintaining our Facebook page is just one of the Administrator’s many tasks here at IHateTheMedia.com. If he were smart (which is always debatable) he would take those skills over to the Bureau of Indian Affairs because they’ll pay him $115,000 a year to do the same job he does here for about $114,000 less.
The Daily Caller has details that will make your head spin like Linda Blair’s in the Exorcist:
If you’re one of the millions of Americans still looking for a job, the federal government is hiring, and (especially for the unemployed) the pay is excellent. While private sector job growth creeps along at a snail’s pace, the roster of available federal jobs is booming.
The Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs needs someone to run the Facebook page for the Dept. of the Interior and they’ll pay up to $115,000 a year. Over at the Dept. of Defense, they’ll drop nearly 50k a year for a new mail room clerk, plus the glorious benefits that comes with government work.
In Washington, D.C., there are more than 1,000 openings this month alone. These include a “student internship” program at the Federal Housing Finance Agency that pays the equivalent of $48,304 a year; a $155,000-a-year gig at the Peace Corps to ensure the agency is complying with Equal Opportunity Employment standards; and a similar job at the Dept. of Transportation that promises nearly $180,000 a year.
Is there a guy somewhere who’s in charge of figuring out new ways to piss away your tax dollars? And how much do they pay him?
And one other question: Why do we still have a Bureau of Indian Affairs? We thought they were now Native Americans and “Indian” was a racist term. Doesn’t this mean the government is promoting racism?
Oh, well. They call it maize, we call it corn.

never mind that where is THAT bathroom?
Believe me, tommy, you don't WANT to use THAT bathroom.
Its like the $800 toilet seat or the $400 hammer. They can't just "redistribute the wealth" out in the open and call it what it really is.
I have a degree, post graduate work and 40 something years of work experience. I think I could handle the mailroom job. Where do I mail my resume? Do I even NEED a resume? Or should I start calling my Reps, Senators, etc. to see if they can get me in as a deal because I voted for some of them?
Deb,You sound like a producer. You would go bat-shit crazy after a week in a Government job! Please, just keep providing whatever good or service that you are best at. We will ALL benefit from that more than another over-qualified, ZERO-productive bureaucrat.
I AM going batshit crazy-out of work. And the mailroom job pays more than I EVER got paid in my job field, plus as I get older, I need a job that is a little less physical in nature. I figure this would be a great last job before retirement- I make some money, my SS is a little higher, more money in my retirement account, to help ensure I can eat in retirement. Works for me! (sarcasm off)
Sorry to hear that you are out of work. I've been there before and you can only clean the house and mow the lawn so many times in a week. Daytime television will make the sanest person suicidal.
Maybe you could start a conservative news blog where smart ass people like me can harass Marxist elite dweebs or maybe not.
I have considered a blog. Not sure about it though!
With the huge expansion of government going on, I bet there will be more openings soon. Tune up your resumes and practice saying Hope, Change. and it's Bush's fault.
Oh man... I am in the wrong racket....
Yeah, I'm actually kinda gettin' excited.
Oops, did I say that out loud?
PS, how'dya like the pic fellas?
My little Chickadee!
Ahhh yesss. She drove me to drink, and for that I'm eternally grateful.

Thankya Kimmy :-)
Facebook just put Robert Gibbs on its board...curious, very curious.
I thought that was VERY curious as well. I thought he was going to run the election campaign for BO....things that make you go hmmmmmmm
Doesn't the Bureau of Indian Affairs now assist the Desi's from India with getting HIB Visas so they can over run Silicon Valley?
I hate FaceBook, but for $115,000...
You have to wonder what's involved in maintaining a BIA FaceBook page. One or two entries per day, done by 9:00 AM, and then look at Internet porn until quitting time? See how many Farmland cows you can steal from palefaces? Write reviews on Indian casinos?
I don't get it.
Are you sure that's not look at Farmland porn and see how many pale faces you can steal from to support cows and Indian Casinos?
"Is there a guy somewhere who’s in charge of figuring out new ways to piss away your tax dollars? And how much do they pay him?"
I can come up with all sorts of ways to piss away money and I would be willing to do this job for say...$100,000. The only problem is that I would rather be hung naked by my ankles in a room full of Kevin Jennings clones, than work for the Government.
You gotta retain SOME pride, don't you?
