Wrong priorities

Talk about a spoiled brat. The latest tantrum tactics by the White House come from King Obama himself. The White house has suspended tours of your White House because of sequester budget cuts that require personnel cutbacks. How stupid. Please remember that we are all paying for Michelle Obama to have 20-plus assistants, but we can't use any common sense to shift money from being spent on nonsense like having her chef or hairdresser flown around the world with her to having money to fund personnel to give tours of the White House.

Hypercoverage?

When David Freese falls on his rear end chasing a foul ball in spring training and it warrants mention in the paper; can that be considered Cardinals "hypercoverage?"   

Red tape

Our government is so overrun with red tape and regulations that common sense cannot drown out stupidity. The following is an example showing how stopping wasteful government conferences is not an option, because in this current example the USDA is so bound by regulations it is unable to spend wisely. Much like the entire Obama administration. I quote: "But the USDA notes that it cannot transfer funds among different agency accounts. In other words, money saved by canceling conferences for one division might not help retain food inspectors in another."
