Take the following test to see if you can detect five of the dirty spending secrets Washington doesn’t want you to know . . .
(How long do you suppose before they take this site down?)

Example:
How much money did Washington recently spend to train Chinese prostitutes to drink more responsibly on the job? (Choose one.)
$100,000
$327,000
$2.6 Million

I got 4 right (missed the Alaska plane one). Perhaps I am just a nasty cynic when it comes to politicians. :-)

Ditto. The Alaska plane question could've gone in any of the 3 directions and been equally ridiculous.

When the left starts screeching about how we need to raise taxes, our answer should be, when the govt can be responsible with what we already send them, then maybe we will talk about sending them more money, but as long as they are pulling shit like this they don't deserve one more penny from the taxpayer. If one of those evil corporations ran their books like our govt does they would lose every investor they have. Unfortunately all the investors to the fed govt are forced to invest.

No recession for Obama's 454 White House aides: They'll make $37,121,463 this year (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2011/07/obama-white-house-salaries-soar.html)
Fully 141 Obama aides -- or nearly one-in-three -- earn more than $100,000 a year. >>>
Twenty-one Obama aides earn the top-dollar $172,200. >>>
The 2011 White House salary report does not include mention of the 41 unidentified Obama staff members who owe the Internal Revenue Service $831,000 in back taxes.
Don't forget Michelle's staff of 24 and the bonuses that were paid to congressional aides this year. And they produce about the same product that livestock produces, but you wouldn’t want to put it in your rose garden.

I got all five questions correct, except of course for the trick question.
The salmon was a lucky guess. It could've been the caribou, of course, but not Sarah. Had it been, the MSM would STILL be talking about it. :mad:

I got all right even knowing that the one was a trick question.
