The Weed Agency: A Comic Tale of Federal Bureaucracy Without

The Weed Agency: A Comic Tale of Federal Bureaucracy Without Limits

The spellbinding mock history of the Department of Agriculture's most secretive and vital agency

The little-known USDA Agency of Invasive Species -- founded by President and humble peanut farmer Jimmy Carter -- would like to reassure you that they rank among the most effective and cost-efficient offices within the sprawling federal bureaucracy.Â For decades, under Administrative Director Adam Humphrey and his â€œstrategic disengagementâ€ approach, the Agency has epitomized vigilance against the clear and present danger of noxious weeds. Humphreyâ€™s record of triumphant inertia faces only two obstacles. The first is reality; the second is the loud critic who dares to question the magic behind the Agencyâ€™s success: Nicholas Bader. Formerly known as President Reaganâ€™s â€œbloody right hand,â€ Bader is on an obsessive quest to trim the fat from the federal budget.

Full of oddball characters who shed light on the daily operations of Beltway minions, THE WEED AGENCY showcases a world in which federal budgets balloon every year, where a career can be built upon the skill of rationalizing astronomical expenses, and where the word â€˜accountabilityâ€™ sends roars of laughter through DC office buildings. Thatâ€™s life inside the federal Agency of Invasive Speciesâ€¦ and it may sound suspiciously similar to your reality.
