Things are not looking "up" for the D.C. summer jobs program.

Earlier this week, the Department of Employment Services (DOES) fired the David Hoffman Agency, one of the contracted firms helping DOES find jobs for the Summer Youth Employment Program participants. Apparently the Hoffman Agency was having trouble placing all of the youths, so it started sending them "to development and construction companies to see if they were complying with a city law to employ District residents." Harassing random companies about the law? That simply is not a proper city-sponsored summer job.

The David Hoffman Agency is owned by a fellow named "David Hoffman," whose (relatively new) firm has now suffered a public blow to its reputation over allegations Hoffman deems untrue, or incomplete.

While one cannot be sure of Hoffman's motives, one might conjecture that it was "brutal revenge against DOES" that led him to call the Washington Post and inform them of the Twitter activity of one David Le, a contractor for DOES who was helping to oversee the Summer Youth Employment Program.

DOES fired this David Le on Wednesday, for being a lazy racist jerk, on Twitter. Let's check out some of his Greatest Hits!

Remember, everyone, to be careful what you type on your telephone and send to the Internet!
