Use DOGi-Pedia to get a handle on Government

Any verifiable instances of Governmental incompetence, Political_corruption, waste, abuse, financial shell games, fraud or duplicit acts, laws or regulations are welcome additions. Basically this Initiative is to document verifiable ins and outs of Government, HOW-TO information on Licensing or forms or Locations for submitting a request for FEMA aid, is all good for this site. Also articles/stories of government related criminal behavior including the likes of the United Nations raping the very people it is supposed to protect, Federal, State, County, City, Courts doing really dumb stuff.... no Government incompetence is too small no incompetence to sleight, it all gets attention here. We need input on everything from FBI and DOE to the IRS ... County and City Council meeting, screw ups and ignorance. Keep it informational but any problem you have personally had can be listed. Whistle Blowers should use anonymous computers, HTTPS Login, Proxy servers or other ways of protecting their own identity and then drop their post anonymously. There is no responsibility taken and none accepted for any post listed on DOGi-Pedia. Link to other sources and Wiki or cut-n-paste news quotes from a story of a traffic ticket in a place that's a speed trap or stop light cameras you suspect of just being revenue enhancement for their community, to UN Food for Oil thievery. Government incompetence of Family court to the CIA, it's all useful info, as long as it's the results of government. Things like a Bridge that fell down in the shadow of a Sports Stadium that's in the process of being built. School boards that want to create equal students in a world of diversity. Maybe the Bridge_to_nowhere or decisions that put child molesters working with children..... the truly futile and stupid gestures that government is capable of.

Things may need to be created and filled in at your discretion, the site will be more informative as you add things, for instance Dictionary terms Like FUBAR and SNAFU and a host of other unofficial acronyms. Untangling the Web of Government with all their Global organizations, corrupt and abusive governments and money swindles that transfer/steal our wealth, and create laws and regulations like a jigsaw puzzle. There's HOT words that are links to the base information on that word. Many of the hot words go to official sites of government so that you can also get the official view. You might notice the acronym DOGi for Department Of Governmental incompetence sounds like (doggy), here at talk-n-dog.com fun is a good thing... and I'm chuckling at that one a little. This Project affectionately dubbed the DOGi-Pedia is intended to be the nemesis of the governments. It's creation is to put the people back in control of government, knowledge is power and knowing how and where the bureaucracy is broken is necessary in order to know how to fix it. By having something like WikiPedia for quick reference that's focused on Government, here the average Joe can get answers in one place without searching endlessly in circles via government offices or willie nillie news articles. Having answers, fresh and evolving examples of waste abuse and fraud and ideally will make it easy to see where the government is in need of change or would best be removed from our lives.

The DOGi-Pedia

If this peaks your interest.... register on DOGi-Pedia and your input is welcomed. The rest of you don't have to register to write/edit pages, no big deal, we don't even ask for an e-mail address. The best plan is to create the your information on a plain text editor then copy and past it here on this site. Some pages may be locked by the registered author/user, post either anonymous or if you register you too can lock your pages. Basically go at it and have fun. The wiki idea is that your info can be added to, or you can add to others and so on as the information becomes available. Aside from helping your fellow citizens who can search this site for answers, irony and poetic justice, you may embarrass the cause of your irritation into solving the problem before it happens again. Do you think those $10,000,000 government studies will match up to what you learned here?

This project also allows Government to come here to find out just what state of denial they are in, it will allow the Government see their incompetence through the eyes of those they serve. With any luck those in government will see the opportunity to use the information here as a chance to work with the people rather than continuing to dictate to the people. The usual human-firewall that is placed between the government and the people they serve, leaves government in the dark when it comes to the average citizen.

The Reason You are Here

On my bike ride home Thursday (it had been raining all day; not hard, but constantly), after I passed Four Mile Run and wound my way south around the marina, I hit it – a giant pool of water maybe eight inches deep and longer than anything I'd ever seen there. Much, much, much longer.

Thanks to the valiant efforts of the U.S. Park Service, instead of a 50-foot-long pool of brackish swamp water that drains properly after a day or two, there is now a 90-foot-long and much deeper pool of foul smelling water that likely won't drain at all thanks to the dike. Way to go, Park Service! Thank you very, very much!

The ducks still like it, though. There is nothing quite like hitting a giant body of water at 15 miles per hour several hours after sunset and scattering mallards every which way. I ought to be careful, though, because those are federal mallards, and I suspect running one over with an amphibious assault bike can probably earn me several years hard time in a federal supermax and a stunningly large fine I couldn't afford to pay.

I thought about complaining, but quickly realized there's simply no point. Any complaint I'd make about incompetence would probably be taken the wrong way. (I never minded the water! It only aggravates me now because it's worse!) My congresscrittur, the ethically challenged Jim Moran, would likely take it as a request to do something, and would somehow get the whole task turned over to the Army Corps of Engineers. Which would then build an extravagant structure of concrete and steel that would hugely exceed its budget, be used by very few people, fail to keep the water back, and probably collapse in a few years anyway.

So I won't bother telling the government it messed up. They wouldn't listen. Besides, I don't have time right now. I've got to go wring my socks out.
