All of the things listed in that article are things that FIAWOL (LIAR) and Gary said never existed.

Now, if Gary was truly one who gave a shit about government efficiency and not a party hack he might be able to criticize this stuff, but he won't, because as long as it is the Obama administration that is wasting the money (and helping out Johm Murtha and his constituents - ie PORK!) then it is OK.

You damn well know that it is true, Gary, go ahead and tell me it isn't. Go ahead and pretend you give a shit about government waste.

Gary, quit getting so upset because your marriage is only recognized in 11 states!

Not my job to find sources for your bullshit claims..

Now, try again, the link you gave is to a partisan website.

What source do you have to support $300 road signs?

A real source this time. AP, the Congressional budget office, or?

Americans know stimulus is not working.

Why haven't you idiots posted these things and examined them?

Let's see how you can actually apply your minds and research something. Notice, we are listed as responses to this article.

Public Wary of Deficit, Economic Intervention - WSJ.com

But the poll suggests Mr. Obama faces challenges on multiple fronts, including growing concerns about government spending and the bailout of auto companies. A majority of people also disapprove of his decision to close the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Nearly seven in 10 survey respondents said they had concerns about federal interventions into the economy, including Mr. Obama's decision to take an ownership stake in General Motors Corp., limits on executive compensation and the prospect of more government involvement in health care. The negative feeling toward the GM rescue was reflected elsewhere in the survey as well.

A solid majority -- 58% -- said that the president and Congress should focus on keeping the budget deficit down, even if takes longer for the economy to recover.

Laura Zamora, 40, of Orange, Calif., voted for Mr. Obama but says she is frustrated by the economy and finds her support for the president waning. She says she's facing a possible layoff as a local government worker in California.

"He's bailing out the private sector. He's putting all kinds of money into the private sector," says Mrs. Zamora. "The money should be going to social programs, not to bailing out banks and GM. It should go to

I find this to be a bogus complaint. I am sure the Social Security Administration uses the same list it uses every month to send it's normal checks. At 10,000 dead people and 12 months a year, that would come to 120,000 people in a country of 306.7 million per year. The United States has a death rate of 8.2 per 1000 or 2.515 million per year. 10,000 people is less than 5% of the dead people every month and I am sure nearly all are elderly. It isn't hard to believe that the Social Security Administration isn't notified 5% of the time of an elderly American's death.

Florida is a Republican state. It's Governor and Lt Governor are Republicans. It's State Senate has 26 Republicans, 14 Democrats and it's State House has 76 Republicans, 44 Democrats. Why did they request funding for this particular project?

I'm familiar with these "turtles". They are really gopher tortoises. They are considered a protected species and they do tend to travel quite a bit.

A report on a Coburn site called the road the turtle killing capital of America.

I've heard reports this project was rejected.
