All Rise

Today there was a news article in which a department within our state government is now being required to stand up when anyone from the Governor's staff enters into the room. I guess the part about 'working' is just an afterthought. Our tax dollars are apparently being used to pay people to stop what they are doing and stand up. It's reassuring to know that my tax refund may be delayed because people are standing around. Our governor continues to call himself the CEO of our state. I'd like to know the last time employees stood up when Ken Lay entered the room. Or the guy from Tyco who's on trial. Or Martha Stewart. Or Donald Trump. Or Ted Turner. Or the Worldcom guy. None of them required their employees to stand up when they entered the room. It's frustrating on one hand, but downright hilarious on the other. If anything, this makes the Governor look really, really stupid. So far this year, I'd say deservingly so.
