Phoenix VA finally rid of Sharon Helman for greed, not mismanagement

Posted on December 28, 2014 by Laura

Benjamin Krause has been following former Phoenix VAHC Director Helman’s firing on his blog. The firing was upheld a few days ago. She improperly accepted lavish gifts from a lobbyist–and her former boss–and failed to report them. There are some whistle-blower … Continue reading →

Posted on November 3, 2014 by asknod

Ruh-oh, Rorge. Somebody can’t count, won’t count or is being paid not to count dead Vets. Couldn’t be Griffin. Gibson? Somebody knows where the bones are buried and ain’t talkin’. I love these stories. They change so fast you need … Continue reading →

VA BONUSES “MAY” BE TIED TO DELAYS

Posted on October 7, 2014 by asknod

Gez, where’d you park the Squad Car, Dick Tracy? May be tied to? How about “We couldn’t have done it without our loyal munchkins who, incidentally, didn’t get a dime of this baksheesh.” I love the indecision about whether $23 million … Continue reading →

VACO–EVERYBODY’S GOT SOMETHING TO HIDE EXCEPT FOR ME AND MY MONKEY

Posted on September 20, 2014 by asknod

I think Rep. Jeff Miller finally hit it on the head. All these entrepreneurs at VAMCs around the country did not all wake up one day and simultaneously concoct the idea to cook the books on the scheduling imbroglio. Face … Continue reading →

VAOIG–WE DON’T DO VA CRIME

Posted on September 17, 2014 by asknod

Doesn’t anyone on Capitol Hill (i.e. Rep. Miller et al) find it intriguing that if you or I so much as filed a phony travel pay report and tried to take these folks for $40 dollars, we’d be hounded to … Continue reading →

WHO’S WHO IN THE VA SCANDALS

Posted on September 12, 2014 by asknod

Finally, someone printed up a table of contents/cast of characters so we can keep track of the miscreants and their protagonists. Unfortunately, this list of 24 is woefully incomplete. Considering that the OIG has somehow discovered 91 (currently) VAMCs where … Continue reading →

FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VAROS

Posted on July 24, 2014 by asknod

Remember when I-never mind. I just want you to know I was wrong. I projected all fifty states would eventually be caught up in this deceptive business of screwing us Vets over. The POGO votes are not all counted yet … Continue reading →

NEW VASEC

Posted on July 23, 2014 by asknod
