[at-l] The insult to Clay (gone OT)

Ha! That's nothing. Every time a new person gets elected literally tons of
printed material get thrown out and new stuff printed. If they really wanted
to save money they should make it against the law for politicians to have
their name on every single publication of their
government/agency/subdivision. Put their names on the web site. If anyone
wants to find them they can look there and it would cost very little to
change. When working for DOL I was required to destroy box upon box of 'how
to write a resume' booklets (used in our workshops) and various
informational literature just because a new governor was elected or a new
commissioner of labor was appointed, etc. No other information in the
booklet changed. Multiply that times everything the government prints. At
least letterheads are digital now. We used to ditch reams of ones preprinted
on premium paper after every change of politicos.
