I just learned that Obama nominated John Berry to the position of director of the Office of Personnel Management, which Berry accepted. [OPM is over all federal employees.] So, what experience does he have which qualifies him to be the director of all federal employees? [here's the punchline] He was the director of the National Zoo. He was also once the executve director of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
Hmmm...we need someone to be the director of OPM. Here's a guy who's in charge of 240 employees and 2000+ animals. He'll do.
I guess "civil service" means "jobs for a bunch o' animals."
It's true. See for yourself:
