Stimulating talk

There is a saying that "a politician and our money are soon parted". Let's look at some provisions of the stimulus plan, and see how those fools waste our tax dollars.
$866,000. to figure out how to control flies in a stable. Haven't they ever heard of tails? Animals have been swatting flies off their asses successfully for centuries.
$951,500 for streetlights in Detroit. Thanks to all the boarded up, foreclosed homes the drug addicts need lights to see where they can score crack at night.
$476,000 for a museum to teach children how to fly. How about a museum to teach pilots how to fly instead? Two Northwest pilots flew 1+1/2 hours past the airport before realizing it.
$465 million for a F-136 jet engine. C.B.S. news claimed "it was not necessary and not affordable". How could an engine not be necessary for a jet? Because it already had one that worked!
$95 million dollars to research wood. I thought they figured that out years ago. No new products were developed. I guess they can use all the excess wood to make ventriloquist dummies. Hey George trim those damn fingernails!
