Submitted by Anonymous on November 5, 2011 - 1:58pm
This is another hoot.
I got an email today from Nancy-Ann DeParle, White House deputy chief of staff for policy (she was cancelling lunch), to ask me what ideas I had about getting this country moving again.
I quote:

Professional sports franchises, including the state's NFL teams, have been receiving funds from the state since 1991.
