The guest host on Glenn Beck’s program this morning, whose name I did not catch, was reading off favorites from Senator Jeff Flake’s (R-AZ) 2015 “Wastebook,” featuring strange uses of federal money. One item was $210,000 spent for solar-powering beer factories. It is a small amount, paling in comparison to all the money the factories can get from solar tax credits. Regardless, the bossman here at work said he was surprised Asheville had received none of the solar beer dollars, and I replied we were probably not sufficiently beer-insecyower to qualify.

Here’s a link to the “Wastebook,” and here’s a link to a similar publication, “Federal Fumbles,” by Senator James Lankford (R-OK).
