Obama proves he is not a Muslim.

Because he loves pork!

After promising the American people his Obamanomics plan to bail us out of our impending doom would not contain any pet projects (e.g. pork) this is just the tip of the iceberg:

In the 1,000-plus-page spending bill includes hundreds of pages of earmarks (pet spending projects) inserted by lawmakers, ranging from:

$185,000 for coral reef research and preservation in Maui County, Hawaii

$55,000 in meteorological equipment for Pierce College in Woodland Hills, Calif.

$9.9 million for science enhancement at historically black colleges in South Carolina.

In addition to the basic operations of government, the new budget includes 775 pages of earmarks, funding programs that include local museums, colleges and infrastructure projects. Among the earmarked projects in the bill are:

$764,000 for the Lake George Watershed Protection Initiative in New York, requested by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, New York Democrat;

$9.9 million for South Carolina's historically black colleges and universities, requested by House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn, South Carolina Democrat;

$1.1 million requested by Senate Republican Conference Chairman Lamar Alexander and Sen. Bob Corker, both of Tennessee, for water treatment plant improvements in Tennessee's Unicoi County, as well as $300,000 for a sewer extension project in another county.

Examples of Earmarks in the Omnibus $713,625 Woody Biomass at SUNY-ESF.

Rep. Jerry Lewis of California, the top Republican on the House Appropriations Committee, would spend $3.8 million on a Needles, Calif., highway.

Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi, the top Republican on Senate Appropriations, defends earmarks including a $950,000 nature education center in Moss Point, Miss.

The TARP is said to create or save about 3,000,000 jobs. At the current $7,000,000,000 cost of the TARP that's approximately $233,000 per job. The average median family income in the U.S is $57,000, give or take. Why not just find 1.2 million unemployed people and give them $57,000 each? Makes just as much sense to me since this is whole thing is just one big social program anyway.

But, what the fuck do I know?

No More Monkey Business

If you're worried your elected officials aren't doing their job, rest easy; I have good news for you.

Have you been watching congress and the house lately and wondering if they're doing what we sent them to D.C. to do? I heard today they voted on and passed the Captive Primate Protection Act. Yes, you read that correctly; while our society, way of life and economy is falling down around our ears, our elected officials had the opportunity to pass a bill making it illegal to own a monkey.

Uh, seriously, what the FUCK?

Is this a big problem where you live? I know it's not a serious issue in my neighborhood. I'm sure all the people I know in Caldwell, Idaho that own monkeys will be pissed but, wait, I don't know anyone, anywhere that owns a monkey. So, then I must ask; who the hell is this legislation for?

Our country looks to be on the verge of stateism, fascism or socialism (look up the definitions and take your pick) and these fucktards are passing legislation making it illegal to keep a monkey in a cage. Really? Nothing more important to focus your energy on, ladies and gentlemen? I find that hard to believe.

I guess on the bright side when it's time for reelection they can honestly tell you they did something .

But, what the fuck do I know?
