Shire Choir Performing “Thanks but no Tanks” at Keene City Council Meeting

Five minutes prior to the start of the Keene city council meeting on 2/16, activists stood to sing “Thanks but no Tanks” to the tune of Three Dog Night’s “Joy to the World”. Thankfully, no one was threatened with arrest. The vote on the BEARCAT attack tank was put off until the 3/1 meeting.

Kudos to Richard Onley and the Shire choir.

I still haven't gotten an answer to how the FEDERAL government can "give grants" to municipalities when the Federal Government is in deep debt. Besides when so many municiplaities are vying for "grants" like suckling pigs at the trough doesn't the spending become exponential? Is there a money tree somewhere ?

You got me. I confess I confused my pigs and bearcats. I'll write a thousand times on the blackboard. Suckling pigs suckle. Oinker pigs feed at the trough. Piggy pigs like bearcats. Satisfied?
