Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The house GOP has released a list of waste in the senate version of the stimulus package. While I suppose the house GOP isn't very relevant, it is interesting. There are some where I agree with the list, and others that I guess I need more info for.
