This Wednesday, we awoke to find an unexpectedly early lump of coal in our stocking. Senators John McCain and Tom Coburn issued a report (available here) on 100 purportedly "silly" grants issued by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. A grant to Pig Iron administered by the National Endowment for the Arts, earmarked to retain one of our staff positions and to help fund our seven actors' salaries for Welcome to Yuba City, somehow made the cut (it's at #26, for easy scrolling.) Pretty amazing.
I have nothing to say, besides that apparently McCain and Coburn don't understand "job retention".
