Hey out there in Washington, what's going on?

“Pork” funds teapot museum, arctic games - Yahoo! News:
At a press conference featuring real pigs, Citizens Against
Government Waste highlighted projects it said were especially
egregious: $1 million for water-free urinals, $500,000 for a
North Carolina teapot museum and $100,000 for a boxing club in
Nevada.

Others included $550,000 for the Museum of Glass in
Washington state, $250,000 for the National Cattle Congress in
Iowa and $500,000 for the Arctic Winter Games in Alaska.
Museum of Glass? That's not a typo is it?

Yup. Been there. Chihuly was sort of the driving force in getting this museum. Who knew?

Bellevue Art Museum had a teapot exihibition. Saw that, too. Hmmmm.

Doing taxes today.... Not as much fun as a glass museum or teapots. But where do you think the pork comes from?
