Sure, the U.S. has a trillion-dollar deficit, and something has to be
done to cut it. But now they want to cut Elko, Nevada's cowboy
poetry
festival, the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering!

Fortunately, there are still a few cool heads left in Washington.
Here's Harry Reid:
"The mean-spirited bill, H.R. 1, eliminates National Public
Broadcasting. Now, that is really saying a lot, madam president. It
eliminates the National Endowment of the Humanities, National
Endowment of the Arts. These programs create jobs. The National
Endowment of the Humanities is the reason we have in northern Nevada
every January a cowboy poetry festival. Had that program not been
around, the tens of thousands of people who come there every year
would not exist.”
