There's Always a Better Way to Waste Money

The EU has managed to, once again, demonstrate its unrivaled prowess in exercises of governmental stupidity: it is handing out money to lobbying groups so that those groups are on an equal footing with corporations - in terms of lobbying. That's right, the EU is giving the lobbyists the money with which the lobbyists lobby the EU. Stunning.

One note - apparently, Greenpeace was the only group that refused the money.
