Put some lipstick on that pig………….
They really just don't get it. Do they?
"Bill Clinton presidential center will receive $2.5 million"
Still trying to get that stain out?
Renovation project at the Bill Clinton presidential center will receive $2.5 million.
And how about all the other Presidential Libraries? It does not take this much money to renovate a stained dress.

It's so bad I can't even cry over it. Is Washington considered another planet, beccause that's where all of our ELECTED officials live. Can hardly wait for 2010 and 2012.
Bizzaro World makes the big time.
If WE were smart, WE would fund a fence around DC.
Charge admission.
Speaking of Bloated Pork
I see where Mz. Obama and her porker friend O-pray Winfrey are in Copenhagen, trying to buy the Special Olympics for Chicago. She says it is a sacrifice, and she is doing it for the kids.

I wonder, what about those children from El Salvador that ACORN was going to set up in brothels.
Don't they count…………?
Ah, but they do get it. People tend to believe that every congressman is corrupt except their own. To the folks back home, it doesn't matter what their congressman does as long as the money comes into their state, county or town.
Anyone who wants to hold office shouldn't be allowed. Term limits, baby!
What's going to happen then? It may be a different dance but the song is still the same. People will elect a republican or a democrat and, honestly, what has either party done for us lately? They are all a bunch of crooks.
The Grateful Dead Experience.
Just pool tons of unwashed, high, mentally juvenile moochers in a field and wade through trying to find your 'friend' who you will soon drop, because they bought you this concert ticket in exchange for your driving. Too bad they didn't tell you at the time it was a state away.
Make sure the unwashed take all your possessions. Make sure you take no drugs or drink, as you are responsible and are the designated driver.
Hint on gameplay: To find your friend, look for the person covered head to toe in patchouli and vomit, because we all know that smell is easy to get out of your car after you come home.
There; the Grateful Dead experience. Where's my money?
The lighthouse doesn't seem to be that unworthy. But the Grateful Dead themselves and their record company could have funded the archive, rather than letting the tax payers do it.
Waste and Fraud courtesy of our government. Greatful Dead…Well thats another story but it should not be $613,135.00 dollar story. Question, does anyone know if we are supporting The Kings Graceland?
Cowboy Logic, how about turning that flag the other way. If you don't like it here move!

I like the Dead , but that's ridiculous
Sorry Bobby, our Country is under distress…………
Michelle O says: "Funds dry up so it becomes harder for kids to engage in sports, to learn how to swim, to even ride a bike," she said.
Hello! Since when did it take the federal government to teach our kids to swim, ride a bike or play ball? What a dimwit.
This pork barrel spending has got to stop. No more government handouts.
I seriously doubt that Graceland has any need for government handouts.
Every time I read a post by The Pork Report I want to scream. These politicians just keep finding new ways to spend our tax money on things that the government shouldn't be funding.
I'm having an experience right now.
It's called retching.
They did NOT go, HOPING to get the O-Limpics… they went with the knowledge that they already HAVE the O-Limpics… He/They would NOT put themselves in the position to fail at getting it, knowing how miserably he is failing at everything else. He needs a win, and he has already prearranged it via the Chicago corruption machine. Now he is paying back Valerie J and his Chicago cronies.
Clinton's been out of office for less than ten years. And now his library needs a renovation?
Oh wait, it's just a $2.5 million pay-off of some kind. Okay… now we're clear.
Does the Grateful Dead grant involve free "orange sunshine??!!"
you mean Obamit don't you?
Aren't you happy that you called that one incorrectly? As I walked past the TV while they were announcing that Chicago / Obama LOST – I couldn't believe it – I actually got a thrill up my leg! And just like everything else going on in this country – half of Chicago is celebrating that loss as well – they didn't want it there either!
I thought the same thing! a renovation and not even ten yrs old?
We had best be very careful in what we post, say, write, phone, or email, and to whom.
I understand that the FBI's citizen monitoring system, Carnivore, is still in operation.
