Is this some form of Triangualtion pointed towards the educated fence sitters? Well, it irks the right wingers and that's good. I DO wonder if the extra millions will be used to produce a portrait of Ronald Reagan for every home in America.

1. Saw that

And thought "oh boy, I can't wait to see just what kind of "art" Chimpey would fund"

Maybe Ashcroft could pick out something nice and tastefull.

2. The funding will include

A 1 Million dollar research grant to the "Painting on Velvet Institute"

3. The money is for more drapery for nude statues

AG John (Soar like an eagle) Asscroft will select the offending chunks of stone.

4. Let the Republicans in Congress be the bad guys

All Bush is doing with this and the space program is proposing what would seem to be progressive programs fully knowing that the Repubicans in Congress will sh!t on it. Thus Bush looks progressive and Repugs in Congress look like they are protecting the budget.
