It all depends on who’s ox is being gored. By all means, if they’re passing out the pork, we should get our battlefields preserved. I haven’t been to most of them - I’d like them to look nice when I go.
My department is grant funded. Nuff said.
Then, the real gems ~ the half dozen homes where some of Bill Clinton's appointees lived who are now still fleeing federal criminal warrants!
There's the house where this Iranian Gypsy lived ~ he turned state's evidence in the case of dope dealers violating the $10000 unreported cash transaction limits.
There's the place AlQaida guys smoked cigarettes in the evening, and so forth.
Well worth preserving ~ $5 mil ~ just changed my mind. We need more money for this, and a tour guide on duty!
