New 397 Billion spending bill just passed

I love to see our tax dollars at work.

http://www.msnbc.com/news/872906.asp?0dm=C22CN

90,000 to create a bilingual audio tour for the cowgirl museum in Fort Worth, TX.

$50,000 more for research on shiitake mushrooms at the South Central Family Farm Research Center in Booneville, Ark

$15 million to 10 Texas diary farmers who stood to lose money because their herds were ill.

$600,000 for Tri-state joint peanut research in Alabama;

50,000 to combat "feral hogs" in Missouri;

$250,000 for research on the interaction of grapefruit juice and drugs;

$500,000 for the gasification of switchgrass in Iowa;


And I thought my girlfriend blew a lot of money on stupid shit
