A Wonderful Use of OUR tax dollars.

Education Department pays commentator $240,000 to shill for No Child Left Behind. (http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2005-01-06-williams-whitehouse_x.htm)

Seeking to build support among black families for its education reform law, the Bush administration paid a prominent black pundit $240,000 to promote the law on his nationally syndicated television show and to urge other black journalists to do the same.

I'm beginning to think the whole goal of the Bush Administration is to make my fucking head explode.

Although I guess I shouldn't be surprised after what they did to sell their Medicare proposal.

Here's another waste, this time for Homeland Security funds. NY Times, registration required. (http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/national/AP-Terrorism-Spending.html)

An audit of the state's spending of nearly $600 million in federal anti-terrorism funds found that some of the money was spent improperly, including to buy a trailer that was used to haul lawn mowers to ``lawn mower drag races.''...

One county bought 18 radios and other communication equipment from a company owned by one of its county commissioners, according to the report released Thursday. Another jurisdiction used a trailer ostensibly bought as emergency equipment to haul lawn mowers to races, the report says.

Oh, I thought they paid him because the rest of the media is on the DNC payroll.

Let's just assume that this extreme stupidity is true. It's still much different from using federal taxpayer funds for political advertisements. You either have no grasp of the issue or are being willfully ignorant.
