Fed $$$ for Naperville, college kids, obesity, hunger. Go!
1. Fed $$$ to Naperville
Naperville is a wealthy community. Huzzah to that! Rich or no, we are survivors. Yup. We survived a federal emergency disaster thingie in the blizzard last winter. I know this because Naperville just got $500K from the feds (FEMA) for snow removal costs:
Rumor on the grapevine is that Naperville will be spending the $500K on two things: 1) a champagne and caviar party for everyone in Naperville at the mayor's castle (not mine), and 2) hiring more people to fill in federal grant applications.
2. Fed $$$ to college kids
The feds have money for college kids too. The leftie reporter here complains that the feds aren't giving away very much money to college kids.
Fortunately, the president reports that lowering college borrowing costs will not cost the feds any $$$. I believe the logic here is similar to the Obamacare math.
The reporter-ette slips in this seemingly innocuous factoid.
QOTD
"Around the same time the College Board was releasing a report showing that the average tuition at a four-year public college rose 8.3 percent last year"
- sfgate story
Cheap $$$ from the feds leads directly to the high, increasing cost of college. This connection never seems to get much of a mention though.
3. Fed $$$ to fight obesity
Alas, Naperville is jealous of Salem, VA. The good people of Salem got $800K from the feds for PE equipment to "fight obesity".
Bah. Salem, VA isn't so special. "Salem was one of 76 school systems in the country to receive these federal funds."
4. Fed $$$ to fight hunger
While the feds are steadfastly battling obesity, they are also heroically fighting hunger. PBS pulls out their heavy-hitting Sesame Street franchise to get this important message out.
QOTD
"Elmo didn't know there are so many people who don't have the food they need."There is only one way to stop this stuff. Cut fed $$$.

5. Smoke em if you got em boys
I heart this Herman Cain pol ad where the guy smokes a butt at the end:
Excellent.
