The New York representative, whose bold demonstrations have typically taken the form of crazy rants and sound bites, is taking his game to the next level.

Weiner says the government has paid $24 million in mohair subsidies, mostly to goat farmers in Texas, over the past ten years. [Metropolis/WSJ]
