$89,000 Grant For Chicken and Ribs! Shhh... There are no business grants

Not a day goes by that there isn't some new Internet prophet proclaiming there aren't any grants for small business or that they're for rocket scientists only. Especially certain "Grant Writers" who go to great lengths to prove their self proclaimed value while telling people not to look.

Here is one example of an $89,000 grant for a new restaurant and an artist in Detroit.

Yep the rocket scientist being awarded this small business grant for RJ's Roost will be serving up the latest "high tech" chicken and ribs in Detroit.

We say congratulation's and good luck to this establishment for ignoring the Grant Writing know- nothings of the Internet and pursing a grant for small business.

Hopefully the people of Texas will also ignore these sages as their House of Representatives just approved a Small Business Grant Initiative. Details here: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/business/6341196.html
