The program was such a success that they eliminated the problem with funds to spare!

"U.S. Rep. Sam Graves trumpeted proudly as a way to fight a perceived Goth problem."

Glad to see a brave member of Congress is finally going to stamp out this plague of pale youths who wear too much mascara.

Convert them to peace-loving Muslims, that'll solve this problem.

Blue Springs received the grant two years ago from the Youth Outreach Unit, money the city and U.S. Rep. Sam Graves trumpeted proudly as a way to fight a perceived Goth problem.

Leave it up to a Dim ( /sarcasm) to create a problem to try and get more involved in our lives.

From this article one can see what this was all about:

Most of the [ $132,000 ] money, $54,786, went to hire a project manager and an assistant. Additionally, the Y.O.U. spent more than $19,000 on fringe benefits for the two employees.

Hrm, what are the odds that this is a friend of a friend of the reps?

Is this a joke? It's not? Why am I laughing? I'd rather have Goths running through my neighborhood than people wearing bulky clothes with wires hanging out from their waistbands.

"...it would be discerning."

Sigh.

If this was an article about $273,000 being spent to suppress the “Gothic” culture, I would have sworn it had to be from the Onion.

"You have to admit if you saw one, two, three, four or more people dressed in traditional Goth, it would be discerning," she said.

Huh?

You know you're not suppose to post articles from the Onion. Right?
