Caution will be needed while in the vicinity of any of these, the programmers and all of the senior operators have been furloughed. You see, these cutbacks are hard on everyone.

Austerity Measures.
Due to the cutbacks forced by the government shutdown the patrol of the national parks and monuments is being handled by UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). This move alone will provide enough savings to pay the salary of 2.5 Congress people. Fortunately, there are .5 congress people scattered throughout the Capital.

We are only human, some of us, after all.
People often send in resumes, asking for unpaid internships, offering bribes and kickbacks, anything to get their foot in the door at Life Explained. After all, this is a hard working group of dedicated servants of the planet, who want nothing but an improved quality of life for the residents of Earth, and not just the people, either, plants, animals, insects, we care for them all. True, we are not all that fond of spiders, or snakes, or giant, mucous covered snails. But, we want them to be happy, and healthy, just not around here, then we can be happy, as well. That is why it is troubling and brings much us much sadness to report that even we are not immune to the scandals that are buffeting the nation.
Recently, we developed a small unmanned aerial vehicle to fly stealthily around the Life Explained campus finding the true stars, those who go above and beyond to make things better, the heroes who sacrifice selflessly, giving their all in a valiant effort to improve everything, for everybody. It was only an effort to recognize those toiling, sweating, bleeding, willing to give their all in An Effort to Make Everything Better for Everybody All of the Time. Our new company motto, by the way. Unfortunately, Occasionally Reality Stomps Good Intentions Into The Ground. Our old motto, it is easy to see why we needed a change.
Since we are so comfortable with technology (we are bloggers, after all) we outfitted our drone with thermal and video cameras, radar avoiding composites, an array of aroma detection sensors (in case anyone brings in fresh donuts) and some light weaponry, nothing lethal, just fun stuff, you know? This would be a good time to apologize to the people in the hallway, on the 7th floor of building E in front of the elevator at 9:33 this morning. We are very sorry, but, you did look funny, running, screaming and waving your arms, it looked like you were being chased by a swarm of bees. You will be able to see it on YouTube as soon as we clear it with the lawyers, and as soon as Bob from Human Resources gets out of the hospital, we had no way of knowing about the hernia surgery. Sorry Bob, it was all in good fun, we are sending over a form, nothing important, please sign it and send it back, right away.

It was a terrible surprise when we caught one of our own, laying down on the job. Dr. Dawg, was supposed to be researching important methods of combating lethargy. It seems he lost the battle.
We are very sorry to say, in light of this terrible breach of protocol, complete disregard for rules, and workplace ethics, and dereliction of responsibility, we had to dismiss Dr. Dawg. Sent him packing, all dues paid, good bye, good luck, and God bless you.
Oh, heck, we can't fire Dr. Dawg. For one thing he is the designated driver, the majority share holder, and the short stop on the soft ball team. Plus, he throws the best parties, last year at his birthday bash Three Dog Night performed songs by the Stray Cats. Man, that guy kills us!

Another Budget Saving Idea
On the radio this morning they said the White House is going to give operational and tactical control of the drone program to the military. It makes sense for the Executive Branch of the Federal Government to distance itself from the day to day running of such a time consuming division of the United States Military Conglomerate (suggested motto, "Look At Our Stuff, It Is So Cool").
In light of the current budget impasse and the inability of the elected officials to agree on anything that might offer any kind of solution, at all, it might make more sense to allow a commercial enterprise take over.
They could sell the rights to drone strikes to the highest bidder, "Pizza Hut, the home of the $10.00 pizza deal, and a proud sponsor of predator drone stikes in the mountains of Afghanistan, north of Charikar, and south of Fayzabad." They could even name food items after key components of the weapon systems. "Don't forget to order your Spicy Hot Hellfire Wings, to go with your pizza today."
It has worked so well for the NCAA Bowl system, and trust me college football programs know a little about budget excess, why not let the Feds get a piece of the pie, or pizza, as the case may be.
