#4 Don't forget all the administrative expenses. They'll be lucky to get condolence emails. Feel good politics.

#7 #2 What happened to the sequester?

Sequester pour vous, but not for nous.

Also this totally OT bit of public OCD:

Atop John Kerry, Secretary,
Visionary emissary,
In a hairy topiary
Of an aspect funerary,
Sang a merry cassowary:

"Pursuing my itinerary,
Winging far across the prairie,
Wending up an estuary,
Past an ancient Cemetery,
Wandering very weak and weary
Back across a tributary,
Looking for a perch, an aerie,
Or a tree, perhaps that cherry...
No, there is my sanctuary
Spot for me to rest and tarry!

"I landed softly, sedentary,
On the coiffure unitary
Of altitude extraordinary,
Like the head-dress honorary
That crowns cigar-store statuary.
One moment he was stationary,
The next he up and sang, unwary,
A bittersweet, morose canary:
'Oh, to be a Legionary,
That my exploits military,
Mercenary, sanguinary
(certainly not imaginary!)
Might inspire the commentary
Literary, salutary,
Of an ink-stained functionary:
Sing my prowess legendary!
For I am far from ordinary,
Always there when things get scary,
Chasing down the adversary,
Cuz I'm a hunter, not a fairy!'
Here he stopped and sipped his sherry."
Also sprach dass cassowary.

Just a footnote cautionary:
Of poetic fowls be wary
If ye rimes be arbitrary
See a bird apothecary

#11 He just whip out his checkbook?

From reading just the headline, that's what I thought. But reading the article it looks like he's gonna spend government money...tax money...other peoples' money. Maybe he should ask Teresa if she wants to pony up some of that Heinz money.
