Drat Those House Republican Meanies! No Cowboy Poetry Festival!

That's the gist of Harry Reid's screed against HR1, the House budget clean-up bill that starts to strip nonsense pork-barrel money drains from the budget.  As you watch this, notice that he first whines that HR 1 would defund "national public broadcasting".  After NPR's little stings of the past few weeks, we rejoice in that prospect.  More importantly, the Federal government has no Constitutional mandate to interject itself in "public broadcasting".

He then bemoans the fate of (drum roll, please!)

THE COWBOY POETRY FESTIVAL!

Oh my, oh my!  How will the United States ever survive without the "Cowboy Poetry Festival"?  After all, as Dingy Harry says at the 0:29 mark, "had that program not been around, the tens of thousands of people who come there every year would not exist."  Wow!  It sounds like he's been hanging around Joe Biden for way too long!!  The people would not exist??  Alright, you liberal crybabies!  For weeks you ballyhooed when then-Vice President Dan Quayle mispelled the word "potato", so don't bother to snivvel about any alleged "mean-spiritness" from me!

Hey!  If this festival goes on (hopefully with no tax dollars of ours), I think I'll enter this into any contest they may have.  Here goes!

   We cowboys will have us a rodeo,
   'Cause Dingy Harry rustled up some taxpayor dough!

Whadya think?
