The Washington Post:

'Government Doesn't Suck' march planned

Eye Opener

Amid growing dissatisfaction with federal employees, a group of younger, web-savvy feds are planning to march on Saturday in defense of their coworkers on the sidelines of Jon Stewart's "Rally to Restore Sanity."

Organizers of the "Government Doesn't Suck March" (their choice of words, not ours) were inspired in part by last week's Washington Post poll that revealed widespread negative perceptions of federal workers.

"We hear it day in and day out: the government sucks, federal employees are lazy and their positions are redundant," said march organizer Steve Ressler, founder of GovLoop, a social networking Web site for public servants.

"It's time to turn the tables and remind the world that government employees just happen to be people -- people that don't suck," Ressler said in a message sent to The Federal Eye on Sunday announcing the march. Government workers "are a lot of cool cats" who work hard, listen to good music and watch Stewart's "The Daily Show," "but that's all after they've spent a whole day keeping the country running," he said....

Public Servants, huh?

"It's time to turn the tables and remind the world that government employees just happen to be people -- people that don't suck,"

IMHO, when you have to stage a parade to say that "I don't suck!"..... it's time to buy a new mirror.

I agree that they don't suck........they blow......an important distinction. Luckily, they'll all be on overtime at GS-27, but it's covered under the government union, at time & a half. Christmas is comin' don't ya' know.
