I once did some programming work for the State of Michigan and found
out that bureaucrats have "programs" too.  The goal is not to make a
computer do something, though, it's to staff an office with 
sub-bureaucrats and spend money.  Their programs usually had 
semi-pronouncable acronyms as names (MSHDA = Michigan State Housing
Development Authority = "Mishda", etc.) In every case but one,
the acronyms consisted of the first letters of the constituent
words.  The exception: the bureaucrats insisted that the correct
acronym of the "Work Incentive Program" was "WIN".  I wonder why? :-)
