With the news today of the rift between the Feds and the State of California over water allocations from the Colorado River, it brought to mind (or should I say what is left of my mind), a story that aired some years back up in the Central Valley!

Back when the government was paying large sums of money to farmers as subsidies for not growing certain produce, and thousands of pounds of butter were being gifted to India to make a delicacy in that neck of the woods known as ?Ghee? (don?t ask me, I don?t know), some inventive (and greedy me thinks) soul had put in for government money to start up and operate a (now get this) a ?TENNIS FARM!??

?What in the hell is a tennis farm, and how do you cook the critter??

I never did hear the outcome of the proposal, but with some of the hair brain schemes that I have gotten wind of over the years, many of which are federally funded, nothing surprises me any more!

Now if the plan would have entailed something to honestly benefit this nation?s veterans, or to secure the chastity of alter boys, this plan might have been immediately rejected? But something as worthwhile as a ?Tennis Farm?, by God man, is nothing sacred?!

And while we are on the subject, how do you like your tennis balls cooked, over easy, scrambled, or maybe in an omelet? Hell, for that matter, I didn?t even know that a tennis had balls?

Maybe they should send a few of them (pedigreed tennis balls) out to the Imperial Valley to insure the continuance of the water supply there? They could also divert the ground water from DC to California with no ill effects. Hell, no self-respecting politico drinks water anyway, unless of course, it is served on the rocks with a little (or is that a lot of) scotch!?

?In Vino Verita, In Politica Nessuno!? (Hic!!)
