    From the article...

    Which merely reports on a press release from a repug pols office...

    "A Republican senator's office says stimulus funds are going toward dubious projects, such as a $3.4-million tunnel for turtles."

    Gee, a press release claims the other party is not perfect.

    Shocking

    How about the signs costing $300 each placed by road construction sites not to warn motorists about the construction zone, not to caution motorists to watch for construction workers....but to let everyone know the project is being paid for by stimulus money!

    So people aren't warned of a construction site, if they know it is from stimulus money!

    Republicans need to stop posting nonsense and looking for a fool to buy it. There is no sense in looking for fools - you got them all!

    Yeah, but this "program" is starting with $750 billion.

    Oh, I see what you're talking about. Let's say every program has a bout 10% waste. That would mean that we're onloy talking about $75 billion in waste, right?

    You don't know how to use a search engine? $300 signs is just one example of many ridiculous wasteful expenses in the so called stimulus plan.

    Gee, Gary, calm down. I know there hasn't been a lot of good news for you the past few days, but you're really getting yourself worked up into a lather.

    I'm guessing one of those states is West Virginia, right?

    For anyone interested in the specifics of how democrats plan to spread this stimulus money around the economy....

    John Conyers' wife
    offered plea deal


    Monica Conyers, chairwoman of the Detroit City Council and wife of House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.), has reportedly been offered a plea agreement in an ongoing federal corruption probe in the Motor City.

    The case involves Raymond W. Jackson, a Detroit businessman who pleaded guilty Monday to giving more than $6,000 to an unnamed City Council member in connection with a $1.2 billion sewage contract.

    Monica Conyers was not named in Jackson’s plea deal — the document makes reference only to “Council Member A” — but the Detroit News, citing unnamed sources, reported on Tuesday that she is prepared to accept a plea deal in the case.

    Conyers switched her vote on the sewage contract prior to a City Council vote on the issue in 2007, and the Justice Department has been investigating the circumstances surrounding the episode. Jackson is the second person to plead guilty in the case so far.
