Island Dweller must be bored in the desert…or really likes our site, writes into GorT with the following:
Dear brushed-stainless steel repository of technical sophistication:
As a recently-retired Federal law enforcement professional who worked GWOT issues during my tenure I can’t come up with a better example of the attitude that so severely restricts our initiative and freedom of thought and action as the illustrious Ms. Lamb. If you saw her obfuscate IRT any questions from the Congressional panel, you’re getting an encapsulated view of what those of us who try fight our country’s war against Islamic extremism have to put up with, especially when it comes to getting something urgent pushed through the system FAST. She and Amb. Kennedy are examples of the career civil servants/supervisors (NOT leaders) who forget their sole reason for existence is to support the field operatives who are charged by their government with ensuring basic human survival of those in harm’s way. Many Federal law enforcement agencies are rife with their type.They are in the system to perpetuate the system, rather than try to do something with it. Thank God I’m retired! It’s frightening to recognize your very existence could depend on the actions of such brain-dead individuals.
Island Dweller.
GorT has worked alongside both the Island Dweller type of federal employees and the others he describes. Some days are a challenge.

GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
