There's no 86th Congressional District in Arizona either, but the
government's recovery.gov Web site says $34 million in stimulus money
has been spent there."

Huh - how about that.

Maybe the 9th and 86th Arizona districts are in Chicago - Land of
Zombie Voters and Vote Early, Vote Often.

Golly gee willikers, Tom! Doncha know there are 57 states, too?

(The folks can't even get their propaganda straight.)

Well I'm sure the Paste Eaters will have some kind of defense.

It's funny in a strange other worldly way. We just got rid of a
President who, it could be fairly said, did ok but wasn't the best
President we've ever had only to replace him with a complete and total
incompetent.

Talk about Peter Principle - President Obama has created a whole new
category of incompetence - a Super Peter Principle.

You have just completely destroyed any credibility you may have had
with thinking beings. Your brain has become clouded with some kind of
jello, the synapses are no longer firing in a rational order.

Maybe you need to go fishing or read a book. Maybe Dickens.

Now there's one he should take a bow for...

Speaking of gratuitous genuflection, I've heard through the grapevine
that the President is unofficially rehearsing for what he expects to
receive from the Queen of England in an invitation to be knighted,
with the understanding that he will invariably earn the honor in the
future (a kind of 'ROI'al investment).

I guess you guys never heard of Eisenhower or Nixon bowing.

It could not be "fairly said, did ok." He was a disaster domestically
and internationally. If you're going to make the argument that there are
problems with the stim package, that's fine, but to claim there's a
comparison between a president who ruined the economy, gutted social
welfare programs, helped his cronies to the troff, and started a war of
choice that killed 5000 and maimed 30,000 of our soldiers, that
completely destroys your argument.

Ah, come on, Bush did a great job. Just look what he has done for the
Republican Party. We won't have to deal with a Republican President for
at least a generation.

GREAT POST, TOM!!!

Heh - my good buddy who I've talked about before (he owns a high tech
machine shop - wire forming and machining exotic metals and the like)
received $110,000 in "stimulus" funds - theoretically that is. He
actually got $50K, but for some reason it was listed at $110K. Took
him three weeks to straighten that out.

Then he had to account for the "jobs saved or created" which was a bit
of a problem because he had to lay off one machinist even with the
stimulus funds. Then, as fate would have it, he got another contract
outside the stimulus funds he recieved so he had to hire two more
machinists and rehire the laid off machinist (who was out two weeks).

So far, he's had his secretary spend 21 hours working with the report
he's supposed to file including working with our brilliant Senator
Dodd's office and his Congresscritter who "suggested" a total of five
jobs "saved or created" when even they couldn't figure out what he
should report.

It's a freakin' nightmare.

I'll bet it is. A nightmare to not have a swashbuckling idiot running
the country into the ground. A nightmare for the unworthy opposition.

Compare anything this administration is doing and I'll guarantee we
can equate with something Bush did that makes it look benign.

But you keep digging...

SW Tom's good buddy is another figment of his bipolar imagination.

How about if he paid the money back? Would that work?

From one whose whole life story is fiction. Although, maybe, his dad
did some of the things sonny brags about.

The were probably briefed on protocol and acted accordingly. The current
dip hasn't a clue.
