Cowboy Poets on the Dole ...err.. on the Reid, Who Knew?

Every winter there is a Cowboy Poetry Festival in one of my favorite towns, Elko Nevada!

Who knew that the home of the winter Cowboy Poets was subsidized by Harry Reid and his ilk.

Harry Reid needs to make up his mind though. Elko has great prices on its hotel and motel rooms, nice casinos, and for the cold winter nights, some of the best bordellos (I'm told) in Nevada.

Now Harry was complaining about legal bordellos in Nevada last week and now, this week, he wants to subsidize a festival in the middle of the Poetic Cowpoke's dancing and diddling with 'soiled doves.'

Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboy Poets - By Robert Costa - The Corner - National Review Online

Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboy Poets March 8, 2011 As Andrew Stiles reported earlier, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) went on a rant this morning against GOP spending cuts. In the midst of his flailing, he bemoaned the loss of a “cowboy poetry festival.” Really. “The mean-spirited bill, H.R. 1 … eliminates the National Endowment of the Humanities, National Endowment of the Arts,” said 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.”
