The scariest thing about the Banana Slug post I wrote about this morning is that it’s not far from the truth: the AP reports that Joseph Conrad, the director of Ohio’s workers’ compensation bureau, resigned today after a scandal involving the disappearance of rare coins that the state government bought as an investment (yes, you read that right . . . rare coins that the state bought as an investment). Republican Governor Bob Taft claims ignorance, and says that ‘’I am outraged, I am angered, I am saddened, and I am sickened.”
Make that two of us.
Strange are the days when parody is less outrageous than reality.

The coins in question? First day strikes of Liberian Elvis silver proof commemorative series.
