"He is cleaning the Augean Stables" an Arizonan editor cried out. "Sorting out waste. Firing non-essential government workers. Saving tax dollars. Getting rid of Marxists. He's firing everyone." "But I work for NASA." "Do you? Is that important?" "We do medical research at hospitals and universities." "Is that essential? What's medical research?" "I lead the department which developed the computer for space travel. You know. That iphone in your hand." " That can't be essential, I've already got one." "I am only temporary. I was hired to repair the water system in the Grand Canyon." "Well that definitely not essential. Who needs water in the Grand Canyon? You're fired." "I am a nuclear power engineer." "But what do you actually do?" "We keep the nuclear reactor safe." That doesn't sound vital." Seems like the workers sent to clean up the Augean stables got stuck in the horse shit. They need help. They will need to shower. The smell from The White House is overpowering.
