The Washington Post has revealed the financial breakdown of the CIA & NSA’s ‘black budget’ but within that is a smaller, more explicit, ‘blue budget’. A significant proportion of the $52.6bn set aside for counter-intelligence was spent on a month’s subscription to ‘Scatological Times’, holiday snaps of Vladimir Putin and Tea Party ‘tea-bagging’.
A slightly flustered White House spokesman explained: ‘In the interest of national security it’s sometimes necessary to monitor the population. This could involve miniature shower-cams, spy-holes just above your bed or an inflatable Joe Biden doll’.
