Your Tax Dollars Pay for Boobs. Part Two.




Word out of Boston is that security for the Democratic National Convention may top $50 milion. That's $40 million over budget (the Democrats over budget? Imagine.). You can add that sum to the $14.5 million the party gets in public funds to throw the big shindig in the first place. The DNC plans to ask Congress to write a check for the shortfall. Congress will sign off, of course. Because it's 99% filled with the two parties that'll be cashing the checks. The Republicans will of course get to the penny whatever the Democrats spend.

That's almost $130 million in public funds so politicians already on the public payroll can dine on cavier and hookers in Boston and New York, and throw two gauche parties to celebrate...themselves.

Oh yes, and so they can"nominate" their candidates for president and vice president -- candidates who sealed up their respective party's endorsements months (in W.'s case, years) ago. That I guess is the intoxicating"democracy" part of the scam that's supposed to get me all dumb, drunk, and oblivious to the fact that I paid for all those damned balloons.

Talk about adding insult to injury.

It's not enough that I have to tolerate the policies of these two nauseating parties and their candidates.

I have to pay for their nationally-televised group masturbation sessions, too.
