Yeah, my wife has the same job description.. except we call it making a critical shopping list, and then going to the supermarket to purchase said critical supplies.

A $570 million dollar contract is not a bad deal for a whole year’s work..In Iraqi spending time it’s equivalent to a little less than 10 hours of spending. I know a good deal when I see it.

Now we know where bin Laden has been all this time.

Here’s the first para of the contract company’s news release on that re-upped contract:

Stanley Awarded $570 Million Contract to Continue Support of Passport Program

Over 15-Year History of Providing Passport Services Continues

ARLINGTON, Va., March 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Stanley, Inc. (NYSE: SXE), a leading provider of systems integration and professional services to the U.S. federal government, today announced that it was awarded a five-year, $570 million contract to continue support of the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs/Passport Services Directorate. Services include production, operational and business process support training, procurement, administration and evaluation of critical supplies, and facilities management support at the four Passport Centers and 14 Passport Agencies nationwide along with the Headquarters’ support offices.

I guess since they’ve been doing it for 15 years, they can’t be tied to Hallliburton. Sounds like they first got the contract on Bill Clinton’s watch.

But jeez, what kind of a culture must those Stanley employees have?

The name is Stanley! They just recieved a 570 miliion dollar contract last week no less!

My question exactly! Every time I hear of another gummit-contractor screwup, I wonder, “Which division of Halliburton this time?”

I guess in between sexually assaulting female employees and electrocuting our troops in the shower (KBR), or turning Walter Reed Army Hospital into a hellhole (former Halliburton crony of the Dick’s), somebody somewhere had some spare time.
