There Ain't No Such Thing as a Ten Cent Dollar Bill

That's a line Mr. Beazly coined. Not only does it express a profound truth about Canadian Tire money, but we both thought it would make a great country music song title. After reading Mr. Steyn's latest, I think Mr. B. should head south and use his line to write a federally funded cowboy poem instead...while he still can.

"The mean-spirited bill, HR 1 ... eliminates the National Endowment of the Humanities, National Endowment of the Arts," said Sen. Reid. "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."

 Whoa, pardner! Cowboy poetry must really git yer Cowgal Missus in the mood! Maybe Mark Steyn is looking in all the wrong places for the source of Western demographic woes.
