Kentuckians' tax dollars, um ... well, actually, I'm not quite sure WHAT they're doing.

But it appears, according to Pharyngula, that the State of Kentucky is giving the Creation Museum $37 million in tax breaks to build a Creationist amusement park featuring a "life size" Ark ... well, actually, several times life size, if the artist's rendering shown is even approximately to scale, and if historians and archaeologists are even in the ballpark on the actual length of a cubit.  Holy crap, that thing's gotta be over a thousand feet long, easy.

The Creation Museum claims this is going to create 400 jobs.  Even assuming that number is correct, I'll bet very few of those jobs are going to pay anywhere close to the almost $100,000 in tax credits that each one of them is going to cost the state.

Hell of a jobs program, Kentucky.  Way to go.

At least they are trying to tie jobs creation to the tax credits. That's better than a lot of government programs are doing these days.

oh, btw - I love that song! (Point of Know Return)
