Yes....these are completely real and were in the stimulus bill. I am not kidding. Here's the "Change" that was voted into office.


10. $1.7 million "for a honey bee factory" in Weslaco, TX

9. $475,000 to build a parking garage in Provo City, Utah

8. $200,000 for a tattoo removal violence outreach program that could help gang members or others shed visible signs of their past

7. $300,000 for the Montana World Trade Center

6. $1 million for mormon cricket control in Utah

5. $650,000 for beaver management in North Carolina and Mississippi

4. $2.1 million for the Center for Grape Genetics in New York

3. $332,000 for the design and construction of a school sidewalk in Franklin, Texas

2. $2 million "for the promotion of astronomy" in Hawaii

1. $1.7 million for pig odor research in Iowa


The irony of #1 cannot be faked......

Actually, controlled envorinments for honey bees is how we get our honey production we consume.

Be that as it may, how in the hell do these itmes stimulate our economy?

I think that in this economy with things like this going on, we're going to see another round of layoffs.....in Congress.

I have a branch II pest control license and am a bee expert. I have killed and removed many bees from attics and inside walls in homes and buildings and through my studies, have learned lots about bees.

Sort of gives some perspective to "worker bees", huh?

So........I can not trust that the government to do the right thing? :crazed:
