$16 Muffins Found at U.S. Meetings

[240 is Back]

No asswipe!     These pieces of garbage dont need conferences in the first place!

33, please tell us why you oppose this conference:

March 2009 conference of the Office on Violence Against Women

Because its all bullshit!

Because its all bullshit! 

Do you think the DoJ should endorse women's violence?

Maybe, a better solution could be a "Bring your own breakfast" approach to it.  But that's just a moderate, common sense solution.  Completely ending all DoJ programs, meetings, and conferences would save much more money.

There is no reason at all for any of this crap.

Skip - If YOU were the guy in charge of feeding the U.S. Justice Department agencies for their meetings -

And your accountant told you that you had to feed them without spending ANY extra money.

However, you also had to ensure these high value targets weren't poisoned.


How would you do it, SKip?


Answer?  YOU COULD NOT!  You would need to take some addl measures - and they aren't free.

Uh, yes you could.  You simply go down to the local Dunkn' Donuts and buy some muffins.

But, since you wish you to continue with the made "poison scenario", let's have put up some facts.

Surely if this were a viable threat, you could post some links to AQ attempting to infiltrate McDonalds, Burger King, Dunkn' Donuts, etc.

Better yet, how about you put up some actual poisonings?

C'mon spinmeister...put up or shut up.

If it's at a hotel they usually don't like you doing that and will jack up the meetInG room renTal.

This will go unanswered.

no, no, no.

you don't just send joe the intern to McD to buy muffins. 

I'm right, and i know this because it's how it's done.  Not some theory about how it should be done.

you don't let the food that goes to the top folks come from unsecured sources.

It's that way today, and it'll be that way in 25 years.  Will.  not.  Change.

[JBGRAY]

Yea, a bunch of empty suit DoJ bureaucratic paperpushers are gonna be a high priority terrorist target 

And why the fuck not go down to the Dunkin Donuts for coffee and muffins?  Lots of CEOs, high ranking military officers, and other important people consume and purchase food from "unsecured" sources.  Or just buy a few boxes of Little Debbies and a can of Foldjers from Wal-Mart so any evidence of tampering(which is of course ludicrous) can at least be detected.

What a bunch of tiny-tit egotistical cowards.  Maybe they should go to these "Labor Sweat Camps" that some folks advocate for welfare recipients to learn values of hard labor and honesty.

Refer to my earlier post about you not knowing jackshit.

You don't who, if any, high ranking people are at these conferences.  It would be exceptionally hard, to say the least, for a terrorist to figure out who is going to get the muffins and where.

And, you still can't point to any instances.

Those alleged $16 muffins everyone is up in arms about? Turns out they came with fruit and drinks.

Pete Yost of the Associated Press reports that Hilton Worldwide, which manages the Capital Hilton where the 2009 legal conference mentioned in the Justice Department's Inspector General report took place, says the breakfast "included fresh fruit, coffee, juice, muffins, tax and gratuity, for an inclusive price of $16 per person."

"Dining receipts are often abbreviated and do not reflect the full pre-contracted menu and service provided, as is the case with recent media reports of breakfast items approved for some government meetings," Hilton's statement said.

An entire meal spread delivered for $16... but but but what about the inflated FOX headline?

We all know that Obama chose the food vendors himself.

This is all part of his secret commie plan to collapse the country one $16 muffin at a time

Grenades cost 3 dollars each. I'm sure that fat effeminate fucks such as yourself probably gorge down 12-15 muffins per sitting at one of these events.

How does it feel to know that your obesity costs the American tax payers x10 as much as two wars?

$16 for what basically amounts to a continental breakfast?

Sorry dude, still too much.

Absolutely...especially with the government's buying power.  A little while back, you could get an unlimited breakfast buffet at the Marriott in Fairfax for $10 and that included cooked food like eggs, sausage, bacon, waffles.

Looks like you went on a posting spree last night Georgie

what happened, did you drink a couple of wine coolers and start remembering all the stuff you hate about yourself and rushed over to your computer to purge yourself by projecting all your self loathing onto others.

It's getting kind of old but still pretty funny most of the time

Agree.  I also agree with the IG:  “Some conferences featured costly meals, refreshments, and themed breaks that we believe were indicative of wasteful or extravagant spending,” the Justice Department’s inspector general wrote in a report released today.

if it's the price on the menu than i'ts the price on the menu, next time stay at motel 8

[240 is Back]

was this breakfast DELIVERED warm and toasty?

Sorry, but that will add a few bucks to the tab as well.

SEcurity, a full breakfast, delivered in bulk to a govt event with the timing needed for the event, delivery team setting everything up as well?
In a city with high cost of living?

$16 bucks a man ain't that bad, really.

That's the point retard...they should be doing it someplace cheaper.
