“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

This Would Be Funny If It Weren’t So Serious

So says Bruce McQuain at The Conservative Commune.  And he's right:

"~A federal grant for $765,828 went to—I am not making this up, as Dave Barry would say—bring an International House of Pancakes franchise to Washington, D.C.

Because bringing IHOPs to D.C. is a primary function of the United States government, and worthy of every dollar spent."
Our tax dollars at work, folks. We definitely in it for the long haul.
