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?

For better or worse, I suspect most large legislation like this has
stuff like this tacked on. We just don't usually pay much attention
to it. I think a lot of this is just politics - schemes designed to
get one more vote in favor of the bill.
