Where's my Sweet Baby Ray's?



The greatest store bought BBQ sauce is Sweet Baby Ray's. No debate. But I love my Sweet Baby with my pulled pork or ribs. I couldn't find any mention of the ethereal sauce, but plenty of the other white meat in Cal Thomas' op-ed War Bill Filled With Pork.
House of Reps wast:
Attached to this bill of surrender, as chronicled by Citizens Against Government Waste, in $21 billion in pork to buy the votes of some members.
$283 million for the milk income loss contract program
$74 million for peanut-storage costs
$60.4 million for salmon fisheries
$50 million for asbestos mitigation at the U.S. Capitol Plant
$25 million for spinach growers


Senate waste:
$24 million for sugar-beet producers
$20 million for reimbursements to Nevada for "insect damage,"
$3.5 million for guided tours of the Capitol (don't most people expect to buy tickets for such things?)
$3 million for sugar cane and the transfer of funds from holiday ornament sales in the Senate gift shop.

Seeking to justify the unjustifiable, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said nonmilitary items in the spending bill were necessary because those stingy Republicans who held the majority for 12 years neglected important needs. If that's true, rather than attach these items to an appropriations bill, why not introduce a measure that would fund such projects and then debate whether the federal government should spend our money on them?

Kissinger Doing the Weather

Kissinger Doing the Weather
Back in the early 90s, I awoke with a wicked hang over one morning. As I sat on the floor watching the morning news, I swore I saw Harold Kissinger doing the weather. No one believed me. Professors discounted me. I have been vindicated.
