IHMC gets $750K federal grant…for Ocala

According to the Ocala.com, U.S. Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Ocala, persuaded the House to pass his request to fund research by the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC) for better defending Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems from attack.

IHMC has acquired the former library headquarters in Ocala for $1 million, with the assistance of $850,000 in grants from the city of Ocala and Marion County.

    Oh, Charles… to be a fly on the pressurized cabin wall of your plane rides with Congressman Miller… I bet many a camel-themed joke was shared betwixt you two rapier-witted scalawags!

    everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die. we cannot ***** and moan about how much the federal government spends and elect someone who panders to that like Miller and then complain when Ocala gets federal money. So I am merely reflecting the general view of our area as shown in our choice of Miller as congressman. We cant have it both ways.

    Publius, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at your comment.

    I have to agree with Publius… I have had the pleasure of flying home from DC to PNS with Miller a few times over the last 5 years. He really does have a good plan and will save my children and grandchildren tax dollars! He will also ensure the US citizen does not have to worry about some IED armed camel jockey blowing us up on the way to Walmart. (then again, with Hussain Osama we will pry be required to use a Camel to get to work while wearing a sheet.)

  5. publius says:

    our area can be proud that we dont expect our congressman to bring home wasteful spending projects like this kind of pork for the socialists in ocala. As long as Miller is our congressman, we can hold our heads high knowing that we wont be getting very much money from the federal government. it’s our contribution to holding the line on federal spending. We arent represented by a borrow and spend liberal like Stearns.

  6. Joe says:

    Sounds like we’re slowly losing IHMC to Ocala altogether. Those grand expansion plans seem like an eternity ago. It must be nice for Ocala, having a congressman who actually does stuff and all. I wonder if our IHMC (before they turn off the lights) could whip up a LegislatorBot that just shows up and votes ‘no’… It would save the taxpayers Miller’s salary, anyway.
