Thought of the day.

So this porkulus bill is on its way to the POTUS for signing.

Isn't it interesting that the bill has funding for bike trails and rail car systems in the state but absolutely no funding for the Brent Spence Bridge; the I-71/I-75 bridge across the Ohio that everyone who's ever crossed it knows it to be a collapse waiting to happen and that the next death on that bridge might be your own.

A bridge the transportation department has deemed functionally obsolete.....

A bridge that will take 10 billion dollars to replace....

A bridge that would invigorate a local construction and steel business....

No there's no money for that kind of project that needs to be done. But there's plenty if you want about 600 billion condoms.

I'm guessing that Trojan must have one serious lobbying effort.
