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.
The first one I find pretty interesting. Everybody likes to talk about clean coal, but I guess actually trying to do develop the technology is a waste. The project might just be rubbish though, it's hard to figure things out without more info.
Hmmm...They've got group rooms in the hostel, so that might work. Put 'em all in one room (by gender).
Notice that CNN didn't sum up the total of what the Republicans consider wasteful. It looks like it's less than 2% of the 900 Billion.
$448 million for constructing the Department of Homeland Security headquarters.
$248 million for furniture at the new Homeland Security headquarters.
Interesting that it's the GOP who wants these cut!
they can all telecommute and work from their couches. Verizon can provide secure FiOS, right?

I was surprised at how little there was considering the size of the entire bill.
It looks like Obama had a nominee withdraw for tax reasons. Is there anybody who doesn't have tax issues?

Ooo! Not me not me!! Can I be nominated?!?! Can I? Can I? Please!?!
• $500 million for flood reduction projects on the Mississippi River.Ya, didn't the Republicans learn ANYTHING from Katrina?? Hello?!?

I pay my cleaning lady cash and don't do withholding for SS, unemployment or pay for worker's compensation insurance. I'd fail to survive congressional scrutiny.

Clean coal is a fallacy. I can pull out (read: bother my co-workers for) facts and figures and such, but when it comes right down to it, clean coal is still coal, and it's still polluting. Coal is not the way forward.
