This Blog covers my interests in history, law, science and literature. I also record events today so that I will have a record tomorrow of events. In this way, I fight the Orwellian editing of history that is all-too apparent in the information age. If you are not a libertarian conservative, you might ask, why isn’t this blog more positive to your point of view. You might as well ask why George Orwell's 1984 wasn't more positive to your point of view.
Taxpayers didn't build America's bridges, but food stamps make us stronger.

I think it is generally a pure waste for a government agency to advertise.
Absolutely.
I've been involved in a few suits against a local office of education. It advertises more than a small business. All of the advertising was designed to raise the administrator's public recognition and to send money to entities - public television, public radio - who could return the favor when he needed it.
From a taxpayer's standpoint, what the hell did a local office of education need to advertise? Insofar as it was supporting public television, the administrator was using my money in order to make himself politically powerful, and I'm sure that he got comped tickets to fundraisers, which I and all the other taxpayers didn't benefit from.
Pure corruption.
