The Dime Will Never Die
And the pork will never be mislaid:
More than one out of every five dollars of the $125 million Massachusetts is receiving from a federal spending bill is going to help preserve the legacy of the Kennedys.
The bill includes $5.8 million for a new Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the Senate to be located near the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum. The JFK Museum will get $22 million for upgrades.
In a way, you could lay all the waste and corruption of the Big Dig at the feet of the Kennedys, too. The name to the strip of land reclaimed from beneath the former elevated highway is the Rose Kennedy Greenway. I think the Teresina Capone Greenway would have been more fitting, and has a nice ring to it.
Funny how President Obama failed to mention these tasty little bacon strips among the shameful earmarks (which he inherited!) he was forced to sign at gunpoint.
