Earmarks

Now that's an Earmark

I'm annoyed as hell by all the promises made in the recent US Presidential campaign about "going line by line to eliminate unnecessary earmarks", introduced by tainted politicians. I mean millions of dollars for the Utah Mormon Cricket problem? Come on! If the Bicycle Industry got a few million for the purposes of promoting fat Americans to ride their bikes to work, wouldn't that be better than promoting "astronomy, irradiating Utah crickets, and funding pork research?" This is ridiculous - 9000 earmarks??

Are the people running this country smoking the Phelps? Why is like half of Obama's staff getting caught cheating on their taxes? Apparently these senators don't feel like they have to pay Uncle Sam....and are they volunteering these "supposed" oversights before they get caught?? Of course not. The White House needs to get a clue and realize that if the American people can't trust them, then there are far worse problems than a few crickets crawling on Salt Lake City's temples.

The photo above is the type of earmark I would like to give to those who are proposing such fiscal irresponsibility. And finally to end my rant....Bernie Madoff should be put in Gitanamo Bay
