When I hear of people wasting huge amounts of money like that...
I always think how much good a charity could have done with the money. :(

2. How many $12,000. dead soldiers would 40 Mil pay for.
I wish some of your cupids would shoot "Heart" into those FOOLS!

I can not wait to see Seattle's "Bush Statue" topple on Thursday!

"all of us are excited about the influx of spending money coming to DC."

Suddenly I'm feeling much more chipper about 4 more years of this insane hell! Thanks!!

5. Good one, love that picture, as for the $40 million...
...it can buy:

- just over one hour of interest on the federal debt
- 44 minutes and 32 seconds of military protection for the United States
- 21.6 million school lunches
- 400 liver transplants, 175 heart transplants and over 900 kidney transplants

8. awww, don't they look happy...
just like my dog when he finds a decomposing squirrel in the woods to roll around in.

Then that dog walks around with the stink wafting off of him, unconcerned that everyone is appalled and gagging. To him, the smell of rotting squirrel is a sweet perfume.
