DHS's decision to award the contract for a new pathogen research facility to Kansas has brought critics out of the woodwork.
But some sort of special lobbying prize should go to the Texas Coalition of Pots Against Soot-Blackened Kettles:
A Texas consortium that hoped to lure the DHS facility to San Antonio argues that the agency has wasted millions of dollars trying to justify its choice, and said the GAO's findings show that the selection method was "preposterous."
"They call it 'Tornado Alley' for a reason," said Michael Guiffre, an attorney for the consortium. "This really boils down to politics at its very worst and public officials who are more concerned about erecting some gleaming new research building than thinking about what's best for the general public."
Gee, Michael, what do you call this?
