Creep of the Week

Have you heard about the current Secretary of the Interior, Dirk Kempthorne? It seems he decided the bathroom in his Washington office needed remodeling, so they submitted the request to the GAO (the governmental watchdog over budget spending) as "historic renovations" and Mr. Kempthorne got a new shower, a new refrigerator, a new freezer, and lavish new wood paneling for his bathroom. Cost to the American taxpayer -- $235,000.00.
