lovers of our acronyms in government series will find a great article in the wall street journal today by louise radnofsky. here are some snippets of the full piece. i was interviewed for the article.
"Take, for example, the RAT Board, which in more official circles is known as the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, charged with sniffing out waste, fraud and abuse in the $787 billion plan. The Leaking Underground Storage Tank trust, an unsexy environmental cleanup fund that existed before the stimulus package, has now been unofficially rebranded LUST Recovery."
"Departments that do choose to spell known words should take care -- poking fun at poorly chosen acronyms is already an Internet sport. Jennifer Alicia Johnson, a former English teacher who now manages an afterschool program in Seattle, set up a blog in January to collect humorous examples. 'One does wonder, if they aren't fully thinking through their name, why should we believe they are fully thinking through their efforts?' she said."
it looks like the comments section of the article will be great fodder for future ASS posts!
