Planned Parenthood Out, NASCAR Still in the Game!
Posted by Cienna Madrid on Mon, Feb 21, 2011 at 9:34 AM

I wish to the lady-loving Lord this were a joke: Moments before (or after) stripping Planned Parenthood of roughly $330 million in public funds dedicated to women's health (cancer screenings, STI tests, family planning services, etc.) last Friday, the House voted to continue allowing the Pentagon to sponsor NASCAR teams with taxpayer money:

The House has voted to let the Pentagon continue using taxpayer dollars to sponsor NASCAR race teams.

By a 281-148 vote, lawmakers rejected an effort by Minnesota Democratic Rep. Betty McCollum that would have ended the practice. McCollum aides said the Army is spending $7 million on a sponsorship this year, and the Air Force and National Guard are spending additional money.

The vote was split pretty predictably along party lines, with Republicans overwhelmingly voting to keep public funding in place for NASCAR.

The House's message is clear: NASCAR is a basic human right that, if left unsubsidized, will seriously impact the health of millions of Americans.

Bullet dodged, you guys.

Heavy-hearted curtsies to Lindsay for the tip.

And if this is what our country has come to I think I'm off to kill myself farewell friends
 
they also want to kill PBS nationwide as well. this is obscene to me. something TRULY valuable like PBS and for some people, an utter LIFE LINE like planned parenthood are deemed less important than a redneck extravanganza lilke nascar!?
 
this country in the last few years has made me wonder greatly about our thought processes, might have to move to England or something
 
well i am seriously researching Toronto and am looking at a 5 year plan to get out there. I'm aiming for a work related visa and given my BFA as well as being certified in medical billing/coding I may have a shot at that. there's still alot more i need to learn though.

im SERIOUSLY not trying to stay in America with the way shit is going.
