Has your city put in for any stimulus money for "shovel ready" projects? Here's a site to answer that question. My city submitted requests for $413,263,980 which works out to $4,500 for every person who lives here. Streets, windows, paint, flooring, a transit facility...there should be a TV show called "Extreme Town Makeover."

Hey, my mom is from Laurel, MS! Those people need a living wage! This is MS, the poorest state in the Union.

Well, make sure she has a damn doorbell, will ya???
I see it is not a joke,
UPDATE*** According to the Laurel, MS paper... this is actually a safety issue. Looks like FOX didn't do any checking on this. Yes, they want to add some doorbells to the units for the ELDERLY residents. BUT it also adds reverse doorbells... a system where the elderly can "ring" someone from the inside in an emergency. Makes more sense now.

Well, nothing surprises me. We do have our share of corrupt politicians. You'll recall that Trent Lott's brother-in-law was recently convicted of bribing a judge, I believe it was.

I hear that the package is going to create jobs.
At 275k per job.
Maybe they should just give the money away. I would keep people employed with my $275,000.

Looks like the Dems are going to take the stank out of our well water over here.
Cool. But I live on my own well, and I don't smell the dissolved sulfur anymore.
I want to submit a request.
Can I has PS3?
