Obviously I’m in the wrong business. Where do I sign up for NASA?

Senators accepted an amendment by Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, to make NASA disclose all of its conferences a year ahead of time. The move comes after NASA solicited bids for a $110,000 confab in Florida for 300 Civil Service employees — with $50,000 going to food alone…

That $110,000 is the minimum that will be spent and by the way, Holiday Inn Express is not good enough. NASA wants 300 rooms. The notice said: “The rating for the hotel shall be 4 diamonds or higher by the AAA Diamond Rating System.”…

The minimum of $50,000 feeding them includes a menu of “carving station with beef and/or turkey, hot and cold hors d’oeuvres such as coconut fried shrimp, spring rolls, shrimp wrapped with bacon, antipasto plates to include assorted meats, cheeses, grilled vegetables and assorted marinated vegetables, breads and 5-6 dessert selections. Suggested menu items for a 3-course dinner includes: salad, main course to include chicken or beef with 2 sides and bread, dessert, coffee and tea.”

Yes, see we’d be back on the moon, but our employees are still at their after-dinner tea. By the way, here’s an example of a four-diamond room in Florida, c/o Don. You can see the pic at the top of my post.
