Massachusetts legislators have already dedicated almost $38 million towards the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate - yes, that's really what it's called. I call it the Edward M. Kennedy Shrine to Pork. During Kennedy's reign he pushed through enough pork to fill the trough to overflowing.
And this year his family is coming back for even more piggy funds -- I do believe they think of it as an entitlement - they want another $30 million in TAXPAYER funds to spend on the Shrine.
And this is during the worst recession in American history. The rich and powerful are at it again -- gimme, gimme, gimme.
The Kennedy family is rich, rich, rich. They have ubber rich friends. They should get ALL funding for the Shrine from their friends or their own bank accounts -- NOT THE BELEAGUERED TAXPAYERS - who, according to the CBO yesterday, are getting slapped with another $1.5 trillion in debt for 2011, thanks to millions of PORK projects just like the Kennedy Shrine.
We are at the tipping point, off the cliff, under water, call it what you want. We are BROKE. And no money should be spent on this Shrine or any other project that is not Constitutionally mandated. Be sure to enter your protest to the Kennedy Shrine at this link.

SHOVEL READY JOBS? YEAH, YOU BETCH'A
Well, well, Obama fessed up yesterday. He believes there is no such thing as a "shovel-ready job."
But wait, you say, wasn't "shovel-ready" jobs one of Obama's and the Dem's main selling points while shoving the stimulus package down our throats? That's all we heard on TV was how the almost $1 trillion will go immediately to "shovel-ready" jobs and will so stimulate the economy that unemployment won't go above 8.5%. In fact, Obama pledged that his "bold agenda" of "shovel-ready projects" would create 2.5 million new jobs. I got so sick of hearing the "shovel-ready" term that I wanted to hit someone with a shovel! Because I didn't believe a word of it.
And months later when the economy hadn't started to turn around Obama said it again. And months after that he bragged about it again stating that stimulus money helped fund "100 shovel-ready projects.... which are beginning to create jobs." And Biden's hum-drum has been the same spurious deception.
But after 2 years and unemployment not moving under 9.5%, and probably more like 17% when under employed and the aren't-looking-anymore are counted, Obama finally admits his own Stupidity. Or is it his Lack of Experience? Or maybe he's just Inept?
"THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS SHOVEL-READY PROJECTS." Those are Obama's exact words.
We Doubters knew it all along. Want my opinion? I think the Pretender President should be impeached and tried for treason. He's not fit to be a dog catcher, much less the President of the U.S. He ran for office trying to convince the American public he had a brain. He obviously doesn't.
