"Now, I know those tax returns were around here somewhere..."40,000 tax returns and payments lost somewhere in Pittsburgh. The inefficient and incompetent federal government at work once again? Nope. Private industry contractors at fault this time.

Nice change of pace from the usual agitprop about how it's government that can't do anything right while private businesses can do no wrong.

Yeah... They want you to think that some "contractors" simply "screwed up"... Sure.

The truth is that a top-secret government organization is shredding the paper and using it to line the nest of a Mothra egg! They hope to hatch the egg and use the larva as a top-top-secret component of the missle shield!

Damn that George Bush! Damn him!!!
