We cheer our congresspeople when they "bring home the bacon" in the form of some federal tax money "earmarked" for a local project. How stupid we are! It would have been better if the money had never left the state in the first place and the federal government had not raked off some significant percentage in administrative overhead! We are paying the federal government to give us back some of our own money. WHY??

About Me
I've been in the Navy all me bloomin' life! Me Mother was a mermaid, me father was King Neptune. I was born on the crest of a wave and rocked in the cradle of the deep. Seaweed and barnacles are me clothes. Every tooth in me head is a marlinspike; the hair on me head is hemp. Every bone in me body is a spar, and when I spits, I spits tar! I'se hard, I is, I am, I are!
- LCDR William S. Fortner, USN (RET).
- I am an unrepentant independent conservative and a 30-year Navy veteran with little civilian experience thus unable to suffer fools graciously. I am a member of PETA [People Eating Tasty Animals], Southern Division, Beef Battalion, Prime Rib Brigade, Platoon Rare, Squad Au Jus and Horseradish (on the side).
