My First Report

My first GAO report was recently released to a surprising amount of media coverage. The report can be downloaded here:

The Wall Street Journal and Associated Press both had original stories about the report. Both authors contacted the Director on the report with questions.

The AP story was also picked up by various other news outlets including:

The New York Times

The Washington Post

Business Week

Salon.com

The Daily Caller

In addition, some smaller regional and local papers have also picked it up.

Finally, the report has also sparked interest among some industry blogs and websites:

If you watch House, and this is a serious post, but if you watch House M.D., the episode tonight featured a blogger. The name of her blog? AConsideredLife.

Wow, that is really random...

chipperboy1 said...

Yeah, I thought so too, but it IS funny, right?

Eagan said...

Totally funny, I assume it must just be a strange coincidence as this blog doesn't get much attention.
