Golden Fleece Award – Issue 114

OK, so it’s only $90,000. But it’s our $90,000 they’re scorching! And that’s why we’re giving our Golden Fleece Award for government waste to our pals at the State Department.

Here’s what we’re getting for our money – films, art and other claptrap designed to promote “mutual understanding” between Yanks and Brits!

We think our “mutual understanding” is terrific and this is just another waste project. But we would like to understand why Brits:

• drink warm beer
• watch a TV show called “Numberwang”
• call Liverpool residents “Liverpudlians”
• drive on the wrong side of the road

If State Dept. wizards can cue us in on these oddities maybe we’ll take our award back.
