Cutting out the things that really matter like national security, veterans services, is a psychological war Obama is playing... It is leverage to get everyone upset and make them budge
for $325,000 for university researchers in California to develop a robotic squirrel to observe how rattlesnakes react, to study the interaction between predators and prey.
$27 million spent by the U.S. Agency for International Development to train Moroccans to make and sell pottery around the world. But the report, which cited a USAID inspector general report, says the program was riddled with problems, including having a translator at classes who was not fluent in English, and by using dyes and clay not available in that country.
The study is critical of the continued production of the copper penny, which now costs more than two cents to make. It complains about $516,000 spent on a video game that simulates the social experience of attending a prom, $31,000 for Smokey Bear balloons to make appearances at balloon festivals, $300,000 to promote domestically produced caviar, and $268 million spent on a loophole for paper manufacturers that allows them to claim a waste byproduct is an alternative energy source.

YAY KILLERS! I'm so proud of all you killers that got killed or died.
Happy?
Did you show respect for Osama bin Laden when he was killed?
Hell no I don't stop for funeral processions. I have somewhere to be. John Doe ain't going anywhere.
