...as usual, I'm talking about a government bureaucrat.
Confedereate Yankee, posting at Phin's, has the story of a ship scheduled for mothballing that was to be donated to a group dedicated to turning the ship into a state-of-the-art disaster recovery vessel.
Naturally, the US Maritime Administration is doing their best to screw it up and actually cost the taxpayers more of our hard earned dollars to replace the ship.
CY names names and asks for your help.
