Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Golden Fleece Award is presented to those public officials in the United States whom the judges feel waste public money. Established in 1975 by former U.S. Senator William Proxmire (D-Wisconsin), and issued until 1988, it was revived by the Advisory Board of the Taxpayers for Common Sense in 2000. Its name is a tangential reference to the Order of the Golden Fleece, and a play on the transitive verb to fleece, as in charging excessively for goods or services. Award winners included: Bureau of Land Management, MIT, for the Aspen Movie Map, NASA's SETI program for the scientific search for extraterrestrial civilizations, although he backpedaled after being visited by Dr. Carl Sagan.
