Oh, man, this is, like, so wack. Do they have to taint my music with their slimy spending orgies?
A new report slams $11.5 billion worth of what it calls wasteful government spending in 2010, including more than a half million dollars to digitize Grateful Dead itemes.
Sen. Tom Coburn's Wastebook 2010 highlights, cites $615,000 in federal funds to digitize photographs, T-shirts and concert tickets belonging to the Grateful Dead. The money went to the University of California at Santa Cruz, the band's chosen spot for an archive that is supposed to be free to the public.
“Congress continues to find new and extravagant ways to waste tax dollars,” said the Oklahoma Republican.
Oh, well. To paraphrase one of the Dead's songs, if we're going to hell in a bucket, might as well enjoy the ride.
Today's riddle: What did the Deadhead say when he ran out of marijuana?
Man, this music sucks.
