I didn’t even know there was such a thing as “sparkly styling spray” for dogs (which “leaves the coat with specks of shiny glitter and aroma of candy cane”) but the members of Congress do. Yes, that’s right. If you haven’t guessed it, you and I are subsidizing these products/companies through farm legislation. Apparently, this […]
Well, just when I thought Los Angeles couldn’t waste any more money, I read a story about $7 million worth of fuel that went bye-bye. Even though City Hall has attempted to track the use of taxpayer-purchased fuel at dozens of city fueling sites, millions of gallons of fuel were pumped without any record of […]
If you listen carefully, you’ll hear your taxes being flushed down the toilet back in Washington, D.C. Day after day, week after week, year after year, the politicians in Washington, including our President, just can’t figure out we’re going bankrupt. They’re spending junkies. The General Accountability Office last month issued a report confirming that tens […]

Here’s a perfect example why I want to be Judge Judy when I grow up. “Know what I’m sayin’?”
Well, I guess there’s still more problems with the Fisker automobile company. I’ve written about Fisker before.

My “favorite” government entity is the National Institutes of Health and its never-ending creativity when it comes to wasting the taxpayers’ money. It’s no surprise that cocaine use is linked to increased risky sexual behavior. So, why is the NIH still wanting to study the correlation between the two? Hell if I know. But they […]
I know, I know. What’s another couple of million dollars in the scheme of things. It’s just a drop in the bucket when it comes to our $15 trillion debt. But that’s not the point. Drops make a difference and why spend ANY money on useless programs or projects that don’t have anything to do […]
By this time, I really shouldn’t be surprised when I read about yet another waste of taxpayers’ money. But I am. While our national debt has recently passed the $15 trillion mark, we continue to waste money on any number of ridiculous causes, programs AND countries! Did you know that the U.S. government gave $18 […]
“A ski museum in New Hampshire received an $86,000 federal grant to create a new exhibit telling the story of skiing from the Stone Age to present day. The center collects and displays a wide variety of items related to the history of skiing, including equipment, films, photos, art, and clothing. For example, visitors can […]
