Great job, Congress!

CNN: "Congress has moved to prevent money from the proposed $825 billion stimulus package from being used for zoos, aquariums, golf courses, swimming pools and casinos, an effort to ensure the bill funds only what it calls the "highest quality" infrastructure projects."

You know, there were some people in Washington saying: "Hey, let's spend the stimulus money on go-kart tracks!" But then somebody stepped in and yelled "No! We have to spend the taxpayers' money wisely." So they didn't spend the money on go-kart tracks.

Bravo, lords and ladies, bravo. [sarcastic clapping]
