Get the Blumdermug. A non-engineer who is installed as a traffic planner or other utopian public works government position, who is not qualified to make sound technical nor financial decisions, and/or makes decisions by political agenda instead of facts.
The mayor hired a sociologineer as head of the traffic department- she has only a "Social Ecology" degree and tells the engineers what to design. The sociologineer designed the housing project, and now it's abandoned.

Get the domainiacmug. A moderately-skilled piano player that believes that all people will be happy if the government forces everyone to have a basic piano and play the piano in his mainstream style, instead of market forces deciding who and what is successful. This results in mediocre music and some exceptionally skilled drummers becoming corrupted and being placed in re-education prisons.
