OK, it's time to crank up a project first suggested to me more than a decade ago by the former managing editor of GovExec: Put together a list of federal officials (or at least people related in some way to the operations of the federal government) whose names fit their jobs perfectly. The classic example, I always thought, was former Air Force procurement official Arthur Money. I just came across another today while reading the Wall Street Journal: Thomas R. Saving, a member of the board of directors of the Social Security and Medicare trust funds. Get the idea? Good. Start sending me some more examples, and I'll publish 'em. Update 2:48 p.m.: GovExec West Coast correspondent Jason Peckenpaugh weighs in with a good one: former National Credit Union Administration Chairman Dennis Dollar. And how could I have missed this obvious one: Education Secretary Margaret Spellings.
