We're bailing out WHAT?

[unixronin]

From danjite:

The latest version of the "Bailout Bill" creates tax credits or benefits for:

- Film and Television Productions (Sec. 502)

- Wooden Arrows designed for use by children (Sec. 503)

- 6 page package of earmarks for litigants in the 1989 Exxon Valdez incident, Alaska (Sec. 504)

- Virgin Island and Puerto Rican Rum (Section 308)

- Auto Racing Tracks (317)

- Wool Research (Sec. 325)

I ain't saying nothing.

WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT, OVER

This "bailout" gets more surreal by the day.  Did someone put LSD in the Congressional coffee pot?

I'm reminded of a comment from then-Senator Arlen Specter. Asked in a TV interview about "the bad old days" when every Congressman was for sale to the highest bidder, he replied,
"Oh, no, those days are gone. It just doesn't happen like that any more. Now, you have to rent them."
