Give credit where it's due. I got an e-mail form the SCGOP, and it appears that the post I made a few days ago regarding earmarks hit the nail on the head with our own Majority Whipper, Jim Clyburn.
Yesiree Bob, it seems that there is an earmark in the Defense budget for $3 Million to a charitable foundation connected to the James E. Clyburn Golf Center in Columbia. Nice....... All together now...... WTF ????
No doubt that teaching inner city youths ( or is it Yutes?) how to play golf will make us all sleep better at night. Got an Al-Qaeda cell in your neighborhood? Just whip out your Big Bertha and whack away!! MS 13 terrorizing your town? Dazzle them with your knowledge of when to yell "Fore!", and when not to.
Seriously, this is what is exactly wrong with Congress. We judge the value of our servants by how much of The Other White Meat they can connive out of the budget. Then we all pay. I repeat - WE ALL PAY. How is this concept lost on everyone? I could understand how you can explain earmarking the money to his Transportation school, but how do you justify a golf school in a defense bill?? SCGOP has made up a petition to end this stupidity. Here is the link...
Jim, the ball is in your court. We're all waiting for an answer on this one...................

Let me guess, the "Golf Center" would be a renevation of the old Ft. Jackson course or, copying Furman, gracing Benedict College with the facilities for a groundskeepers and caddys school.
Maybe Carl's blend of fescue and sensimillia is viable for the greens.
do you see his answer
Doing a bit of homework, the "golf center" isn't even on base, though it is within a mile of Bendict College. The closest thing on the map that has even a tangential defense connotation is the "War Veterans Home" on the State Hospital campus.
Where has he hidden contributions to Planned Parenthood in the budget? Does the soon to be numerically second largest minority understand that they will be trivialized and lose out to "hispandering"?
Perhaps Fidel has promised honorary hispanic heritage to Jimmy.
