Who says our tax money is not being spent wisely? We need to pay for advertising that promotes the new and ALREADY PASSED legislation. You know, new ads with a bunch of seniors saying how great the new program is -- of course, that sounds like something that would have made more sense BEFORE the legislation passed -- and it would've made a heck of a lot more sense if it wasn't our tax dollars paying for it.

Why don't we have ads telling us how great the new Homeland security department is? Or the Patriot Act? Or how about ads that tell us why speeding laws are in place, cause we done forgot.

You know folks, there's this concept in the scientific community called Bayesian Analysis. Essentially it's a way of taking new information, adding to conventional wisdom, and running with it. Around here, we call that common sense, but if we applied this type of analysis to this advertising crap there's not a fiscal conservative who wouldn't be up in arms over it. This is ultimately political -- as Deepthroat said to Woodward, "Follow the money."
