How Again is this a Good Use of My Tax Dollars?

by on October 13, 2006

This week, Technology Under Secretary Robert Cresanti presented the first-ever “Recognition of Excellence in Innovation” award to ODIN Technologies of Dulles, Virginia.

Why on earth a federal bureaucrat should run around giving awards to local firms is beyond me. Perhaps Technology Under Secretary Cresanti could have taken the day off. Or maybe just retired if no actual work is pressing for his time.

Let’s make the “Recognition of Excellence in Innovation” award a really special honor by discontinuing it. (Tell ODIN that nobody could ever reach the standard they’ve set.)

I mean, really. Mad as hell and not gonna take it any more. Happy Friday.
