Pot, Meet Kettle

I'm not sure I've ever heard anything so absurd as this:

"Obama to States: Spend stimulus wisely or else"

Somebody please tell me he was kidding. The man just signed two enormous stimulus bills (the numbers are so big that the "professionals" say we average Americans cannot even comprehend the amount), including spending as follows:

$1.7 million for pig odor research
$2.1 million for grape genetics
$650,000 for beaver management
$1.7 million for honeybee insurance
$2 million to promote astronomy in Hawaii

And the list goes on... now will somebody please tell me how somebody who could throw money at pigs (literally and figuratively) has any right to tell the states to "spend their money wisely?"

Just when I think I've heard it all....
