Ok, this has got to be my all-time favorite example of the many stimulus-package spending items: “$300,000 for a GPS-equipped helicopter to hunt for radioactive rabbit droppings at the Hanford nuclear reservation in Washington state.” More from the
Washington Examiner.
its from the "oh good grief" file
ReplyDeleteJeebus! Don't anybody tell Congress about the hot frogs that live in Tennessee!
ReplyDeleteHanford is the eternal money sink for Washington State. They labor to "clean up" the place, but somehow never get done.
ReplyDeleteThere was a wildfire that went through the Hanford reservation a few years back (around 1999 or so). A bunch of greedy "scientists" went on TV, claiming that the smoke from the fires was radioactive, and would contaminate everything east of the area.
I swear to God, this is true. These cretins had every single senior citizen in Idaho terrified; the Governor of Idaho called the Secretary of Energy about the matter.
And then there was the "radioactive jam". Some joker claimed he went onto the reservation (easy to do in spots, all you need is a boat), picked a bunch of berries, and made jam. It was supposed to be some sort of protest against nuclear power.
But nuclear bunny poop? That's gotta take the cake.
What they don't mention is that the rabbits are forty foot tall mutants!
ReplyDeleteSafer to track them, or at least their radioactive droppings, from the safety of a helicopter.
The behemoth bunnies make a "SCREE, SCREE, SCREE" sound and like genetically modified, giant arugula leaves and sugar.
The authorities are obviously searching for the giant bunny burrow; the one with the piles of human bones outside.

Do they use the helicopeter to go snipe hunting in their off hours?
ReplyDeleteBetter they should track those giant worms in eastern Washington.:)
Look on the bright side people.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they didn't pay much more than "list" for this stuff. That's "money saved" They need people to "drive" that thing. That would be "jobs created".

ReplyDeleteMy apologies to Special Agent E. Fud for the previous.
ReplyDeleteAnyone seen Bill Shatner around Hanford lately? Or did he head down RebeccaH's way? Love those hot frogs, RH!
