what a piece of work it is
The new spending bill passed by Congress yesterday includes money for a presidential yacht. (thank you to blahguy who found this posted on Eschaton today.)
I'm sure all the kids without health insurance and all the homeless people out there are very proud to live in such a great nation where a little boy can dream that he'll grow up and be president some day, and that a yacht comes with the job.
Good thing that the government raised the ceiling of the national debt by 8 billion dollars last week.

The Senate voted 65-30 for the legislation late on Saturday that sets aside funds for a range of priorities including a presidential yacht, foreign aid and energy. It is one of the final pieces of work for the 108th Congress and they may return to finish a spy agency overhaul before the end of the year.
