WAS IT FOR ALL THOSE TICKER TAPE PARADES THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO GET?….ThinkProgress passes along the news that federal spending on paper shredding has increased over 500% since George Bush took office. Consider this an open thread for paper shredding jokes.
UPDATE: In other news from ThinkProgress, Bill O’Reilly apparently thinks that certain retailers should be exempt from his “War on Christmas” tirades. Namely, retailers that sell a lot of books. More specifically, retailers who sell a lot of Bill O’Reilly’s books. Gutsy as always, Bill.
UPDATE 2: Emailer JMK suggests that maybe all the shredded paper was for the $20 million Iraq war victory celebration that Republicans budgeted for 2006 and then rolled over into 2007. Maybe!
