“We can’t certify jobs data at recovery.gov”

Man, that “saving or creating” jobs business is hard work.  Did you hear about the “stimulus” creating 30 jobs in Arizona’s 15th Congressional district?  That’s change we can believe in, folks.

Only there is no 15th Congressional district in Arizona.

I loved this bit too:

…the administration has been forced to slice 60,000 jobs from its most recent report on stimulus spending because of what officials deemed to be “unrealistic data” flowing in from stimulus recipients.

Gee, you know, it’s been a little while since the election, but I think I remember lots of hopey-changey stuff about transparency, accountability, and good things like that.  You’d think after spending $18,000,000 to redesign recovery.gov, and having all of our best interests at heart, they’d be particularly careful about reporting on, you know, fictional Congressional districts.

But really, we shouldn’t worry.  With a cadre of Chicago Democrats looking after things, what could possibly go wrong?
