Illinois is putting up distracting signs to people who died because of distracted drivers

Good plan…

How’s that stimulus working out for you?

$111 Million in Stimulus Money Given to L.A. has Only Created 55 Jobs

In reading this was struck me was not how wasted the money was but this little tidbit :

The Department of Transportation was awarded $40.8 million and has created or retained 9 jobs, although there should ultimately be 26.

So that would have been an improvement. Spending $40.8 million to created 26 jobs makes each job worth 1.569 million.

I’m not a business major, but I think I can find a way to hire someone for less than that.

Sorry for the away

But life changes and people go to other things. Plus there’s only so much I can complain about President Dum-dum.

Still, I’m watching all the blame being thrown around and I have one question : seriously, there IS still someone working on stopping the oil spill right now, isn’t there?

SIX Percent?

According to a new poll only 6% of people believe the stimulus bill created any jobs

That’s 6% people! Or roughly 1/4 the number of people that believe in UFO’s

Hope and Change!

Obama talks about tuna to sixth graders

Obama uses teleprompter to speak to 6th grade class

I saw this picture and I couldn’t help but try to imagine what he was saying:

“Let me be very clear. American schoolchildren are not getting enough strangely-colored meat in their diet. Therefore I’m here to announce my new initiative Tuna for Tuesdays. For a mere 500 billion dollars we can make sure that Jimmy here can have a soggy, mayonnaise-heavy sandwich that is guaranteed, I repeat guaranteed to drip in his lap. Not just his lap but the lap of every American child. As part of that initiative we are renaming Tuesday to Tunaday. Thank you. Finally, there is a white Accord in the parking lot with its lights on.”

Bumper sticker

No special treatment here, move along

For those of you ticked that Congress offered a special deal to get the vote of the Senator from Nebraska and said that was the most ridiculous thing ever….

Well, they upped the ante

That’s right, to get the labor unions on board they have exempted them from the surtax on “Cadillac” plans.

Ready the pitchforks!

Want a do-over? (updated link)

Want a do-over on that whole Presidential election thing? Okay, I won’t pretend to have liked McCain but for the first time I was voting AGAINST someone. How’s that whole hope-and-change thing doing?

(sigh)

So, I created a bumper sticker for those who wish they could turn back time. Enjoy!

I want a do-over

A mobile red-light camera (which doesn’t work and is just an income source for a government)..

Millington hopes van will catch speeders; clerks will help with tickets

Forget that whole innocent until proven guilty thing…

Miss him yet?

The percentage of people wanting Bush back in office is the same that approve of Obama. Doing a heck of a job, Baracki!
