Federal Workers Unions Want 'Burrowers' Lists
Two powerful employee organizations are pressing the Bush administration to prove that in its final weeks, political aides are not improperly winning career government jobs at the expense of more qualified workers.

Leaders of the American Federation of Government Employees, the largest union of federal workers, and the Senior Executives Association, the group representing federal executives, said they want the government to release lists of political appointees who have been hired for career jobs and show whether agencies sought competition for the positions.

I hope they help dig all of them out!

6. Good! Call the Professionals!
They need to call in the Exterminators for the job.
Just like you do when you have your home infested with burrowing rats and fucking rodents.
