Dude needs a MAT 65, and a MAT 40.

Heckuva job, Fonzie.

now that is conceit, I hadda break out the webcam to take the pic for my profile because the only other pictures of me I know of is in the police mugbook and on my drivers license. I cant imagine the hubris needed to have that many photos of yourself.

HUD should be eliminated. Its budget rolled back to treasury to reduce the deficit. Its books audited for the last 20 years.

Of course, the real conceit is that anyone would be wandering into the HUD lobby and looking at the pictures in the first place.

Except maybe a bored herd of 4th grade students on some kind of forced-Washington tour.

Seconded. I worked briefly for a property management firm that also owned 100+ HUD properties. Al I can say is what a farking racket, day in and day out.

that's pretty harmless compared to his boss

Gilderoy?

test scores?

Dude, this man is a freak.

Hey he is proud of being a Bush crony. How can you deny him his moment of being a total sellout?

... did anyone RTFA?

HUD is one of the many federal agencies we could do without. The whole US government should fit into the White House, Congress, The Pentagon, The Supreme Court and a nice-sized office building.

That should trigger an automatic audit of his Department's finances. A gross sense of entitlement goes hand-in-hand with that level vanity.

Be proud.

If you've got it, flaunt it.

The entire Cabinet should consist of, at most, State, Defense, Treasury, Justice, and perhaps some sort of catch-all "Interior" to get what few functions need to be carried over from other departments (plus Interior's current role of managing Federal lands, most of which should be sold off).

Seriously, "Housing and Urban Development"? The only purpose all these Departments serve is to provide prestigious-sounding titles as political rewards, to waste money on the latest useless soundbite-program to the American people, and to flesh out the line of secession. Which is really farking stupid- can anyone imagine how farked we'd be if the "Secretary of Veteran Affairs" suddenly became President? Though I suppose an inept political appointee is better than the President of the Senate pro tempore (currently 3rd after the VP and Speaker of the House)- an honorary position held by the most senior majority party senator. In other words, it's usually held by a sagging old fart in his 90s. Men like Ted Stevens, Robert Byrd (the current one), and for almost a decade- Strom Thurmond. Could those men serve capably as President despite their advanced age and probable senility? Depends.

Churchill2004: line of secession

While I'd much prefer "secession", "succession" probably makes more since there.

HUD is a disaster.

Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this project!

..." The idea is to give visitors a visual idea of what HUD typically does, he said."

Oh, now we see what you do. Have meetings with other bureacrats.

No wonder we didn't see any pictures of you building houses for the poor...

I don't know how much it has made before there so who knows how much it will make after there. That is beside the point, I think it would make more sense there as well.

What I'd really like to know is if Johnny Sack's demand that New York will be let in on the scam will go through or not

... apparently HUD hates white people.
or at least their pictures, 'cept GW of course...

Hmmmm........Black guy. Interesting.

I guess it's no surprise, but this ass hole is under investigation:

Link (new window)

it might not be conceit. maybe the administration is so proud of Alphonso "Token" Jackson that they want his image displayed everywhere to prove they are a diversified group?

test scores?

In the world of HUD, they store all the information on a server using TRACS, the tenent rental assistance computer system.
Properties with contracts sent Monthly Activity Transmissions, or MAT files. A MAT 65 is a termintation of assistance and a MAT 40 is a Move Out.
Thus, what I aid in the OP was he needs to be terminated and moved out.

I'm impressed--I hope he will be equally taken with the pic of my big 10 inch I just sent him.
