A $5million order for custom crystal glasses and bar accessories was placed for American embassies on the day before the government shutdown.
The State Department finalized the order for custom stemware on September 30, just hours before nearly one million federal workers were put on unpaid leave as a result of the on-going budget dispute in Congress.
The contract was awarded to Simon Pearce, a Vermont stemware company that makes hand blown crystal that retails for up to $85-per-wine glass.

Let the bastards use SOLO cups AND why in the blue hell should we provide them with a vessel or a libation at the tax payers' dime? This is the type of criminal excess that every American should be flat out refusing to pay taxes to cover. It's become painfully clear that we've reached Marie Antoinette levels of leadership/citizen disconnection. While they're enjoying their wine in high dollar crystal stemware, we're being ordered to budget in Ramen and Natty Light to cover additional taxation and penalty demands to cover their lavish lifestyle.
But yeah, we're all supposed to grieve over the possibility of this house of cards collapsing and crushing them in the process? :rolleyes
