Ha! More dorkiness at Fox News. This time they’re going after NASA.

NASA Caught Paying Sky-High Prices for Snacks

WASHINGTON — The nation’s space agency paid the out-of-this-world price of $66 a person a day for bagels, cookies and juice at a conference, a new report found.

The subject of the NASA conference? It was a training session for its procurement officials, the people who do the buying with taxpayer money.

During the three-day conference, the 317 attendees snacked on “light refreshments” of soda, coffee, fruit, bagels and cookies at a cost of $62,611, according to a NASA Inspector General report. That’s $66 a day per person.

No link. All I can say is big fecking deal. 62 thousand for 3 days of catering for 317 people. I’m sure the cost included service workers and delivery. Of course NASA is now the newly minted boogie man for the anti-AGW wingnuts who think they’re part of the New World Order conspiracy.
