It's High Tea Time In The Old Town Tonight.

Here's something for the record-books. Ya know all the Tea Party favorites that got elected to congress in 2010 who promised to eliminate wasteful spending? No more earmarks? Well at least 22 of them have quietly fought tooth and nail for pet hometown projects. One of them, when questioned about the pork project, stated it wasn't an earmark because the price wasn't included. The price wasn't included? Isn't that worse then pork? Another, Rep. Bachmann, said of hers that a bridge is better than a teapot museum. Well, yes it is better than a teapot museum, but then it's a bridge that supposedly breaks the law covering scenic rivers. One congressman voted to cut out an earmark, but then quietly added the earmark back in. Now, far be it from me to find fault with an elected representative of the people just because he or she has managed to go back on his or her word of honor, but don't you think these folks should have trouble sleeping at night? It seems they do not. You see, they did these things in order to please certain folks from their home districts. Like when you require that the Pentagon build a new ship it doesn't want and doesn't know how to pay for. It's not that I want to be critical or that I want to see people not get a new job, but maybe we could get them a job building something that somebody actually wants. By somebody, I mean somebody that knows how to pay for it. Wanting a willing and able customer isn't unreasonable, is it?
