The results of the OPM Cutest Pet Contest are in. Contestants' pictures were placed on a table by the cafeteria and employees could stuff cash into styrofoam cups to vote. Proceeds went to the CFC.
1st Place – Bobby the Ferret; Demi Mozian, HRPS/CRIS/ISP I think fifth is respectable, especially given the evidence of ballot stuffing. Nothing like Afghanistan or the US, but I did see a fat wad of singles in Bobby's cup on the second day of voting. Rumor has it the cockroach was submitted by the accounting department. I'm providing you two different jokes from that starting point and you can read the one you like better. A: given how our new accounting system is going in FY'10, the roach is a pretty good mascot for that department; or, B: so where exactly did Accounting get the cash to buy second place for a cockroach? In terms of actual dollars, I think first place went for something like $60, and I was told Kona got around $40, which means other people voted at least 27 times for her. I have the fifth-cutest pet at OPM.

My belief at this point is that, for the good of the Republic, Specter should be—like a political version of Schrödinger’s cat—permanently suspended in a condition of being on the verge of being primaried from the Left. If we can just keep it up a little longer, I expect Specter to come out in favor of not only single-payer and card-check, but also a $10/gallon gasoline tax, mandatory gay marriage, and the nationalization of the commanding heights of the economy by a syndic of workers’ soviets.—Making Light
