		<description>jake Tapper via twitter (3 hours ago):&quot;Coast Guard finally got back to me: &quot;The boom manufactured by Packgen did not pass an initial quality control test.&quot;ek
Of Course.
What do you think the head of the Coast Guard is going to say, &quot;There&#039;s nothing wrong with the boom, we just didn&#039;t order any of it&quot;?
There has to be some sort of excuse, Rahm isn&#039;t going to let Admiral Allen say anything too detrimental of the administration.

		<description>It&#039;s a crack.
Posted by: smartlillena &#124; Jun 12, 2010 11:38:34 PM
ONce again, I have no idea what you&#039;re talking about... but I&#039;m pretty sure its rooted in what you think you know about me and have always had wrong. I&#039;ve always made typos, its nothing new. And I&#039;ve mentioned articles critical of Obama, though you all are too chicken to read anything that a progressive suggests.

		<description>Is that a crack I&#039;m seeing?:
Posted by: smartlillena &#124; Jun 12, 2010 8:02:22 PM
Um... I think you were referring to a correction of typos. Its a drag being overly fluent in endless typos but it happens when you&#039;re always in a hurry and doing a few different things.
Other than that, I still deplore the GOP. No cracks in that.

No idea. That isn&#039;t my job anymore than it is yours. As the regulatory agent they are, that sort of info is the job of the federal gov&#039;t.

		<description>progressive mama = Obama administration apologist.
Posted by: Steve &#124; Jun 12, 2010 3:55:41 PM
And yet I was the first person who comments here regularly to mention the Rolling Stone article.
Credibility on your part? Zilch. But now worries but for the most part you&#039;re preaching to progressive and hippy punchers as well as Obama bashers. They&#039;ll lap up the b.s.
What&#039;s true is that while I&#039;m not particularly fond of either party, I absolutely detest the GOP. They are a failed party. The results of their policies are disastrous. I also think most so-called &quot;conservatives&quot; aren&#039;t conservative at all and are hypocritical.

		<description>So, pardon me, but to hell with a &amp;^%$#@!&amp; quality control test!
Posted by: smartlillena &#124; Jun 12, 2010 8:34:42 AM
Look, I&#039;m with you on the urgency. Any idea where to get information on the quality control tests? (even though I understand you&#039;re not impressed by them...)
