Obama's Pork

The following was sent to me a while back from a sometimes contributor, John Bell. I had forgotten about it and decided it was time to correct the oversight.

Obama’s Porky’s IV: Yes I Can


WASHINGTON – Taxpayers against Wasteful Government Spending has identified 8500 projects at a cost of $17.7 billion in President Obama’s 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act of $410 billion. Here are just a few:



~$1.7 million for The GOB Foundation in Spit, TX

~$2.6 million for the study of Toe Jam, Boogers and Earwax Research Center in Crappo, MD

~$1.2 million for The Underarm and Pubic Hair Museum in Hygiene, CO

~$2.3 million for the study of What a Drag it is Getting Old in Stones, AL

~ $4.9 million to have Rock Paper Scissors as a competitive sport at the next Summer Olympics, Doofus, VT


When asked to comment Senator Charles Schumer NY, said, Americans “really don’t care” about “those little, tiny, yes, porky amendments.”

Miss Piggy, Canadian bacon and Porky Pig demanded an immediate apology from the Senator.



The following pic was received from my daughter, Gretchen.

LOL...the made-up list is funnier than the real one, and a whole lot less painful to have to pay, too.

Bwahahahahahaha. I love it. It's much more fun than the real one. I agree with Skunkfeathers.

Have a terrific day. :)
