Well, it's that time of the year again when the hogs in Congress lower their snouts into the public trough and start grazing away. After all, it's OPM. That is, Other People's Money and the ONE THING that liberals know how to do well, is spend OPM. And if they happen to run out, what they call
shortfall in revenue, why, simply raise taxes again. Call it, a special closed door session and have at it, screw the people once again.
And not to be left behind, champion of the poor (HAHA!) Ol Rep. Charles Rangel, (D-N.Y.), is getting an early Christmas with a PHAT TWO MILLION DOLLARS of the taxpayer's dough to fund a library commemorating his 37 years in the House of Representatives. The Charles B. Rangel Center for Public service will serve as a repository for his "papers," and the congressman will have his own office in the Harlem complex. This idiot has been sucking down a paycheck from us for 37 YEARS and STILL we gotta fund the p*ick? The facility has already attracted some $25 million in funding from private sources. Rangel suggests the project will someday be "as important as the Carter and Clinton libraries." CAN YOU BELIEVE the ARROGANCE of this greedy b*stard? If he has 25 million dollars of PRIVATE funding, then WHY does he need OUR MONEY!? Personally, The Gunny thinks Rangel falls somewhere between SH*T and SYPHILLIS in the dictionary.
But of curse, that's just SMALL POTATOES for the hogs on the hill. Most of them refuse to discuss their "earmarks," (pet projects of members of the House and Senate), which ends up costing US, the U.S. taxpayer, billions every year. Let's get a taste of the salt pork that the liberal-majority Kongress is fixing to chow down on.
1. A fat and juicy $3.5 million for La Raza. The VERY GROUP which advocates a takeover of parts of the U.S. Southwest by Mexico. They are a radical hate whitey group. THIRTEEN UNNAMED SENATORS! Lemme see: Clinton, Feinstein, Schumer, Durbin, Reid, Boxer, etc, etc, ad nauseum.
2. Hitlary Clinton and Chucky "Gun Grabber" Schumer, Dhimmis from NY, WERE working to spend $1 million on a Woodstock museum of all things! A museum to exhibit the exploits of a bunch of smelly, nasty, disgusting, morally-flaccid adult-children is something we definately DO NOT need. Sorry hippie-scum, The Gunny doesn't give a F.F. about what you did in the Summer of Love. The measure was shot down last week which SHOCKED Hitlary and Ol Gun Grabber.
3. ONE MILLION bucks for the Clinton School of Public Service in Little Rock. Requested by Sens. Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor, both Democrats from Arkansas.
4. The Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy in Las Vegas is getting 200,000 semolians, WHY, The Gunny has NO IDEA. Can't super-rich tennis jock Andre fund his own school? This was requested by Rep. Shelley Berkley of Nevada.
5. The Formosan Subterranean Termite nabbed 3.74 MILLION for some ungodly reason. Guess a professional student needs OPM to live on, oops, do a study on something with. This was requested by Reps. Rodney Alexander and Richard Baker of Louisian.
6. Big Labor gets it's payoff from Sen Barking Harkin. ONE point FIVE MILLION dollars to the AFL-CIO Working for America Institute.
7. $750,000 for the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Presidential Library, requested by Clinton, Schumer and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. WHY? So that they can enshrine the Ponzi Scam foisted on us by the Great Socialist? Or maybe post the numbers of Eastern Europeans enslaved by FDR when he gave his "Uncle Joe" control over them at Yalta? Screw him.
8. The Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library gets 3.76 MILLION thanks to Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. I guess that they want to put his fake Silver Star on display. Or discuss how well his War on Poverty went.
9. $1 million for the Richard M. Nixon Presidential Library, requested by Sen. Thad Cochrane, Republican of Mississippi. Again. Why?
10. Mr Bridge-to-nowhere Ted Stevens wants $150,000 of our money for rodent control on the Aleutian Islands. Dear Ted, how about you just buy some rat poison and drop it on the island. Surely any state that PAYS it's residents to live there can afford their own rat poison.
11. $250,000 to build the Walter Clore Wine and Culinary Center in Washington, requested by Rep. Doc Hastings.
12. Old Turbin Durbin, dhimmicrat from Illinois, wants 470K of OPM to study the Asian Long-Horned Beetle. The Gunny would like 500K to study how many Asian Long-Horned Beetles he can shove down Turbin Durbin's throat.
13. $244,077 for bee research in Weslaco, Texas, requested by Rep. Chet Edwards. (Now THIS is a worthwhile study. We NEED bees. Kudos Chet)
14. $213,386 to study the Oliver Fruit Fly in Montpelier, France, requested by Mike Thompson of California. Now WHY are we spending OUR tax dollars to study a Frog fruit fly? Guess someone needs a vacation in France and WE get to PAY FOR IT!
15. NOW THIS REALLY P*SSES The Gunny off. A whopping ONE point SEVEN MILLION BUCKS for the Centers for Disease Control to fund a Hollywood liaison to advise doctor dramas. You've gotta be SH*TTING ME! All the rich limo libs there and WE have to pay for this crap! Someone get a rope!
16. Ol Barking Harkin, one of Hitlary's lapdogs, wants $5.1 million for "audio and visual integration" in the CDC's new Thomas R. Harkin communications and visitor center! WHY did they name this after that a**stain!?
17. 34,500,000 Alaska Native Educational Equity Assistance Program. WTF OVER? Again, these people GET PAID to live in Alaska, WHY ARE WE FUNDING THIS TED?
One of the FEW politicians standing up to this crap is Tom Coburn, R-Okla. He was the one responsible for ending the Woodstock Museum porkfest. He had a great idea, an amendment calling on the Senate to place a temporary moratorium on transportation pork until all structurally deficient bridges are repaired, however, our "senators" are more concerned with getting reelected than in making sure that this nation's infrastructure is sound. The measure was defeated 82-14. It must be stated that the Dhimmicrats, led by Red Nanny P-Lousy, promised to clean up pork-barrel spending. Yeah, right. She did not say a PEEP when earlier in the year, House Appropriations Cmte Chrmn David Obey, (Dhimmi), announced that HE was going to keep secret the pork projects in spending bills until after the bills had passed the House. ONLY public pressure forced him to back the freak off.

"I LOVE'S ME SOME PORK!"
