If there are enough people interested in a Cowboy Poetry Festival, it will be privately funded. If not, bye bye!

mean-spirited budget bill?
What’s mean spirited is steeling from some people to give to give to others. Mean spirited is burdening us, our children and grandchildren with crushing debt. What is really mean spirited is pushing us to total economic collapse and the destruction of the American way of life. The ridiculously inadequate cut proposed by the GOP may be mean spirited only in that it is not nearly enough. Needs to be around 1.5 trillion bucks to be responsible.

“These programs create jobs...”

More taxpayer-supported jobs.
That’s the only kind Harry likes.

I thought this was one of the “satire” threads!

I got your cowboy poetry right here:

I used to be free like a bull.
But Dems spent us into the hole.
Now we as a nation are broke
and I'm taxed like an ox in a yoke.

“Had that program not been around, the tens of thousands of people who come there every year would not exist.”

I didn’t know that programs create people. Maybe we are attacking this the wrong way; maybe we should be calling it “aborting programs” instead of cutting them and then the progressives would go along.

I did the PR work and helped promote a cowboy poetry event when I was in college. It was fun, and didn’t cost much. I didn’t know I could get federal money for it.

So if the program isn't around, tens of thousands of people would not exist? Really?

Wait, I missed this the first time. Is he using a little too much hyperbole, or will tens of thousands of people actually disappear into a puff of smoke when a budget is cut? Or maybe the Cowboy poetry festival is the only place cowboy poetry fans (who are normally complete social outcasts) are able to get together once a year to "exchange their genes" (cough, cough) with each other, and their children would not have been born without federally subsidized cowboy poetry?

Hmmmmm, cowboy poetry.....”Well it’s 40 below and I don’t give a f**k, got a heater in my truck and I’m off to the rodeo.....” or perhaps, “Well here comes Johnny with his pecker in his hand, he’s a one-ball man and he’s off to the rodeo......”

Saw an article in the paper last night about testimony by prostitutes/brothel owner to the Nevada legislature regarding Reid’s push to completely outlaw prostitution across Nevada.

Seems the legal brothel owners and workers voted and some campaigned for Reid in his recent reelection campaign and now he is figuratively “screwing” them. This is extremely funny since they thought that they were supporting and voting for a friend of their profession and found that he’s now throwing them under the bus to show his gratitude.

You get what you vote for you ignorant dumbasses.

FUBO & FAD

I know that good ol'Harry is going to the mat for his 'homies' but this ...

Had that program not been around, the tens of thousands of people who come there every year would not exist.

I guess that if this is a post-festival count we need to involve HHS in handing out condoms and "Plan B" pills at the festival. Speaking for myself, I am desirous to have Harry BBQ'd at the next poetry reading - it is to weep!

Riding on the range,
I've got my hat - on,
I've got my boots - dusty.

I've got my saddle
On my horse.
He's called....T-t-t-t-t-trigger
Of course.

I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy

(woman's voice)
Riding on the chuck wagon,
Following my man.
His name is Ted,
Can you believe that?
Camping on the prairie
Plays havoc with my hair.
Makes me feel quite dirty,
Though we all do sometimes

I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy

Looking like a hero,
Six-gun at my side,
Chewing my tobacco.
Out on the horizon,
I see a puff of smoke.
Indians on the warpath,
(Indian voice) White man speak-em with forked tongue.
Or not.
I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy

My name is Ted,
And one day I'll be dead yo yo

If we actually leave enough written material to preserve an accurate record of these times, our descendants are going to marvel at the fact that we survived at all. Any why we suffered these fools so peacefully.

Hey! I live ten miles from there. I had no idea taxpayers were supporting this “festival” in town. We have a huge convention center they use and the local busyness’s have nightly activities going on during that week. I don't see why this isn't self-supporting. It does bring a lot of money into town.
