Hey Barry! Sequester this! PIR 03-03-13...and the crowd went wild!
I Googled this group...as far as I can tell, they are active duty. So, the only 'cost' associated with them is travel and lodging (active duty already get a meal ration, which is not paid when 'in the field', so the military can feed you...so there shouldn't even be a cost to eat).
Their tour schedule is here:

Looking at it, this is clearly a bus tour. It probably took more dollars to fly them back to base, than it would have to continue their tour.
I don't know what it costs to fund this operation; but, it can't be alot. It is an unneccessary expense...so I'm not bent out of shape because the tour has been grounded....but why on earth is the cancellation of a concert in a high school auditorium considered newsworthy? If they had cancelled because the singers were sick, there would not have been a story. It is only newsworthy because it pushes an agenda...and more and more the local media are willing stooges.
Barry “make it hurt” Odungo is just getting started
wow, sounds like a crisis !!
our warfighting machine wont be giving chorale concerts at Washburn High School.
doesnt get any worse than that.
in other news....Moochele and the girls plan their spring break.....with all their free loading friends.....
For all of you who missed Tom Sowell’s column on “Budget Politics”:
“Back in my teaching days, many years ago, one of the things I liked to ask the class to consider was this: Imagine a government agency with only two tasks: (1) building statues of Benedict Arnold and (2) providing life-saving medications to children. If this agency’s budget were cut, what would it do?
The answer, of course, is that it would cut back on the medications for children. Why? Because that would be what was most likely to get the budget cuts restored. If they cut back on building statues of Benedict Arnold, people might ask why they were building statues of Benedict Arnold in the first place.
The example was deliberately extreme as an illustration. But, in the real world, the same general pattern can be seen in local, state and national government responses to budget cuts.”
Hey Barry! Sequester this! PIR 03-03-13...and the crowd went wild!
So, where will the Obamas be going on Spring Break and will they all take separate planes?
It is BS!
“The school says it was informed Wednesday by the Navy Sea Chanters chorus that it cannot travel and keep its performance dates due to sequestration”
Good, the USN needs sailors to man the ships on the seven seas, not ton have a chorus to sing at a high school.
