Eric Fought over at the Nebraska Democratic Party blog has an amazing post up about Dave Heineman and his Task Forces. It’s pure satire, but like all great satire and comedy, it tells the truth a little more than truth itself does.

Here’s an excerpt:

Governor Heineman Announces New Task Force to Study the Effectiveness of Task Forces

Dave Heineman, the state’s Republican governor, announced a new state task force to study the effectiveness of the myriad of task forces created by the governor and his predecessor Mike Johanns to delay any real action on solving Nebraska’s problems.
“No longer can my critics, like Democratic candidate David Hahn, sit back and criticize my complete lack of leadership and my inherent inability to enact any sort of practical statewide policy,” Heineman said. “This new Task Force Task Force will thoroughly investigate the effectiveness of the task forces created by me and my old boss, Mike Johanns.”

It continues…

Heineman added that the Task Force Task Force will create the air of accomplishing tasks in a forceful manner while delaying the necessity for decisive action. The Task Force Task Force will also have a sub-task force designed to decide where Governor Heineman stands on various important state issues the governor has not yet revealed his standing on
…
“It’s important that the governor waits to see opinion poll results before taking any real action,” said Jangly McSpanglepants, Heineman’s appointed leader of the Task Force Task Force. “What if the Gov’ made a decision and took action before learning how popular that decision was? Anarchy, I tell you – total anarchy.
…
Heineman said he won’t decide on how effective the Task Force Task Force is until a Task Force Task Force Task Force can be formed to investigate the effectiveness of the Task Force Task Force.

It’s great stuff.
You know what, when the NDP relaunched it’s blog last year, the UNODems Blog was proud to be one of their first links.

Nebraska Young Democrats Heath Mello and Kyle Michaelis have done a great job blogging over there the last few years, and when Eric started blogging a few months ago I was incredulous about whether or not he could fill their shoes.

But Eric’s doing just a bang-up fantastic job keeping the NDP blog interesting, updated, and relevant.

I encourage everyone to bookmark their blog and read it (almost) as regularly as they read this one.
