I wish the political extremists would have not turned it into a slush fund. Sometimes we need a village wiped off the face of the earth or somebody's fingers cut off, thats not free, but we dont really want to hold the receipts. There was a time when vaginal rhinoplasty for serbian goats was an expensive thing that we all knew meant somebody was doing something really bad for the greater good. Now its more likely funding some politicians subversion campaign, or sadly, actually performing vaginal rhinoplasties on serbian goats.
