David Warren isn’t that impressed with Bush’s reorganization plan, either. Choice graf:

As someone who has recently become an afficionado of the way the U.S. government works, my mind boggles at the turf wars. As a person who has been repeatedly disabused of any illusions he ever had about bureaucracy, I am profoundly sceptical. The eggs were already individually too large, and putting them all in the same pan strikes me as the recipe for an ostrich omelette. And while the new "central processing" division may occasionally staple relevant memos together, it is another layer of bureaucracy interposed between the eye and the brain. The whole thing smacks of concession to political pressure. [Strange Canadian spellings in original –Ed.]

Mmm, omelets.
