Whole Lotta Hay

Dear Readers,
At the same time the Department of the Interior's BLM protested that they didn't have the funds to keep captive wild horses alive, the Secretary of the Interior...oh yeah, the outgoing Secretary of the Interior...was having his Washington, D.C. office bathroom remodeled.

According to CNN: "Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne spent about $235,000...to renovate his office bathroom at the Department of Interior. He installed a new shower, a refrigerator and a freezer hidden behind ...lavish wood paneling -- and apparently got monogrammed towels."

Add this to the cocaine partying on yachts just doesn't make BLM's poor-mouthing too pitiful. Sheesh! MONOGRAMMED towels, you guys! And he's out of that office, and, I assume, that bathroom, in two week!

That's our money and it sure would buy a lot of hay.

Huffing,
Terri

  I'm huffing too. That's just CRAAZY! To think that our horses could have a meal, instead of some rich guy getting towels, and a fancy bathroom! Geesh!
  By the way, what does Monogrammed mean anyway? Think of all those hungry horses not to mention all the families who are scraping for money! $235,000 for a bathroom? grow up!
  Oh my gosh. They should be spending at LEAST half of that money towards a worth while cause. It's so silly, and I doubt they see how self-centered they arre. All those horses are starving, while Mr. Fancy is in his shower in his office. I don't think that's cool AT ALL!
  Monogrammed means they have his initials embroidered on them!
  Hi Terri and fellw bloggers;

Terri; are you saying we will have a new Secretary of the Interior with the new administartion in DC?

Do you know his/ her name ?

Is the Department of the Interior the agency which oversees the Bureau of Land Management ?

These are interesting questions;

which will affect American Horses;

if I find any info I will post; thx
anna ($ is for hay for horses! imo)
  uh... monogrammed towls are pretty weird. I guess he wont be sharing!
  He hasn't been approved yet,but Ken Salazar is the proposed new Secretary of the Interior.
I don't know as much about him as I'd like, just that environmentalists were split on whether he was the best choice or not.
  What a Jerk! I'd like to stuff his monogrammed towels down his toilet!
I just can't belive people like that I mean seriously when did normal towels go out of style?! That money should be going towards something worthwhile! Why does he have to shower at work anyway, is he having his home bathroom remodled too?
That is just some more proof that BLM's pleas are a load of hooey!
Something better be done about this or I'm going to write a highly CREATIVE (if you know what I mean) letter to BLM telling them exactly what I think of their petty little games. They'd better get their act together!

P.S. no offense to anyone who works for the BLM who isn't ..... well you know.

Also huffing, Angry Canadian
  Hi Terri and fellow bloggers;

Thank you for the info on the possible new Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar; I see Mr. Salazar is a US Senator from Colorado; where he lives;

I read this on Salsazer's bio:

Senator Salazar has been a champion for Colorado's farmers, ranchers, and rural communities, ensuring that the 2007 Farm Bill and our energy policy create food and fuel security for America.

The bio said Ken Salazer is a "fifth generation Coloradian..."

I guess being from rural Colorado would give Sen. Salazar a better perscpective on America's Wild Horses than someone from a city;

i'll be keeping my eye on Mr. Salazer; thanks again for the info.

  ps as for monogrammed towels; actually anyone can monogram their towels; blouses; handbags etc.

Just buy embroidery thread and a pattern of Initals of the alphabet

then embroidery the Initials of your first and last name on...

I would like to see Sweetie the Cheyenne dreamers initials monogrammed on the towels of the outgoing Secretary of Interior;

Sweetie America's Mustang; S A M;
SAM would look good on the towels!

lol; ya'll have a great day; anna

ps I understand during Mr. Obamah's Inaguration;

there will be a parade of Wild Mustangs marching in formation !

should be a good parade; I'd say; a
  Uless a toilet is blowing up or something, you really don't need to redo a bathroom. The fact that he's spending 235 GRAND is absolutely ridiculous!! Come on, you can live with an out-of-style bathroom, and save a few horsey lives!
  My comment is:

I have a Tabby Kitten Cat but couldn't think of a good name for her; then I was thinking of the name "Butterscotch; so I decided to call my Tabby Kitten:

My Butterscotch Tabby Cat; so the initials would be M B T C

I'd like to see the initials MBTC embroidered on the towels of the incoming Secretary of the Interior!

Instead of monogramming their names; they could monogram our favorite Pet's name....like

Sweetheart My Cheyenne dreamer
S M C D or SAM (Sweetheart America's Mustang)

My Butterscotch Pony would be MBP !

luv to SMCD and MBP; anna + M B T C
