Nuge: Kill This Porkosaurus

Rocker Ted Nugent is famous for his hard hitting music, i.e. songs like "Cat Scratch Fever" - one of my all-time faves, btw (but what else would you expect from an old dog like me?). But the Nuge also has some pretty hard hitting political beliefs, is an avid hunter and pro-gun advocate. And a family man.

Ted weighs in at Human Events.com on the current stimulus hyperactivity with this article titled Kill This Porkosaurus and even offers a few ideas on how we can save ourselves from this folly.

President Obama and Nancy Pelosi's trillion-dollar Porkosaurus bill will fail miserably at creating new jobs and reversing our economic kamikaze swan dive. The bill is weighed down by irresponsible, ineffective, wasteful spending which is the status quo in Washington DC.

But now President Obama is in charge of feeding Fedzilla and he has wasted no time in advocating a trillion-dollar pork dinner for The Beast. The menu of spending items is the most irresponsible pile of pork in the history of our country.

And my favourite part...

$400 million more of our tax dollars are scheduled to be wasted on the global-warming scam of the century. Here's how we save this cash: We agree the earth warms and cools. We admit that warming and cooling is a naturally occurring cycle that has to do with the sun and that there is nothing we can do about it. We admit Al Gore is a fraud and a global warming Ponzi-schemer. Then we take back Al's Grammy and documentary award.
