Soon public union workers will be stealing kidney dialysis machines from childrens hospitals.

Stolen. Sold to our enemies?

Stuff missing from a govt. agency? How can that be? They are so efficient at EVERYTHING.

Can't wait for govt. healthcare to kick in.

$479,108 dollars worth of high-tech equipment simply vanished at Kennedy Space Center in 2010

Coincides with NASA's 'Muslim Outreach' endeavors. Guess everyone was preoccupied.

A once proud and impecable agency has become a den of iniquity.

Bill Clinton pretty much killed NASA. And Bush failed to fix it. Now Obama is just finishing the job. Evidently they aren’t doing a good enough job spreading Islam.

“Don’t spend your time tracking computers and not launching spaceships. You need to be launching spaceships,” Cowing said.

Can't walk and chew gum at the same time? With such a Laissez Faire attitude it's surprising the losses aren't higher. Too bad it wasn't coming out of their paycheck. That would have solved the problem.

More of Obama’s Social Justice?

The firm I worked for back in the late 1990’s had a large (around 50”) wall mounted flat screen tv in the conference room. This was back in the days when a unit of this size cost around $20,000. Well, one day it just disappeared. It caused a huge investigation, where pretty much everybody that worked in the facility was questioned. They never did figure out who stole it and more importantly, HOW they stole it. It would have taken at least two people to get it off the wall and carry it. Then they would have had to pass the security guard to leave the building, unless they went out a fire door, but that should have set off the alarms.

....And Bush failed to fix it.....

Pretty much sums up eight years of Bush II and four years of Bush I

Pretty crappy Property Management System. Don’t they audit regularly? Most of the listed items appear to be ripe for low-level thefts but there’s a few things in there that raise a few eyebrows.

Maybe they should check with John Conyers’ wife.

“It could be something that was supposed to be listed in this place, stored on a shelf to be excised. It’s not where it’s supposed to be, it’s listed as missing,”

Which means most of this is just on a different shelf and not really lost. Property management on this scale is a difficult and expensive endeavor.

"... Stolen. Sold to our enemies?"

You mean our 'enemies' who manufacture most everything on that list in the first place?

So MASA (Muslim Aeronautics and Space Administration) can’t find a bunch of Obama’s junk.... Who cares, it’s only money.

“”Don’t spend your time tracking computers and not launching spaceships. You need to be launching spaceships,” Cowing said.”

Start the investigation with Cowing.

Wasn’t Glenn Beck yacking about stealing something from your work day?.....
