In tiny Bishop, California, five hours north of Los Angeles, Rep. Buck McKeon, R-California, wants to build a museum honoring the mule.

McKeon has requested a $50,000 earmark to explore the possibility of building a museum in the town that every Memorial Day weekend holds the biggest mule celebration in the United States.

It might sound preposterous but McKeon is doing what many of his House colleagues are doing -- appropriating federal funds for pet projects back home.

McKeon has requested funds for studying the feasibility of building the museum and providing support for operations.

In 2006, Congress approved a record $29 billion in earmarks.


who had control of congress in 06?? hmmmmmm...
 
Had to have been the Dems in control, we all know that Republicans would never do something like that.
You probably do not realize that bush has always been a liberal pretending to be a conservative.

I am sick of these "feasibility studies"... why not just call it what it is.... giving taxpayers money to one of his friends to do a bullshit "study" and then come up with the "conclusion" that it would indeed be a beneficial project to pursue for his district. This crap has to end.

Who gives a crap who had control... the fact of the matter is, they all friggin do it and we have to put a stop to it. Notice that the earmarks haven't slowed down under the dem leadership either.

Little factoid:

I was in the Paiute Palace Casino in Bishop on August 31st, 1997, where to my shock and horror, I learned that Princess Diana had been murdered by King Philip.

That night, I went to cash in $35 worth of chipls, and the cashier gave me $175. I was ecstatic. That's a lot of whip for a 21 year old kid.

I love Bishop. I'm there several times per year. They have a great Labor Day Rodeo.

That would be Prince Philip. England has a Queen who is married to a Prince.
