Yesterday The Examiner<\/a> reported that the Obama Administration has warned that as a result of sequestration the National Drug Intelligence Center<\/a> would lose $2 million of its $20 million budget. The only problem with that statement is that the National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) closed on June 15, 2012.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The fear-mongering<\/a> over the cuts, which amount to a pittance of the overall budget, has become the source of humor for many.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A post at Twitchy<\/a> noted that the Washington Post<\/a> had to “poke fun at its own coverage<\/a> of the (nominal) effect of scheduled budget cuts<\/a> on the critters at the National Zoo.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Won\u2019t someone think of the kittens<\/a>?” Twitchy asked.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“To listen to the White House<\/a> if the GOP<\/a> does nothing by Friday baby seals<\/a>, baby kittens, baby lambs, baby puppies and baby calves will DIE,” tweeted<\/a> Rich Galen<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last Friday, ABC’s<\/a> Jonathan Karl<\/a> said that “officials have warned of more forest fires<\/a>, workplace deaths and, heaven-forbid \u2014 chicken shortages.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, we learn that an agency that has been out of business for eight months will have its budget cut.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Might there be other errors in the OMB<\/a>‘s report?” Riggs (Reason’s Mike Riggs) asked.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah. There might be.<\/p>\n
