Arrggghhhh!!!!!
I would really love to post more today - I have three good articles to write about - but I was thrown for a bit of a loop a little while ago. I received a job offer paying a good bit more than I'm making now. The excitement has made it difficult at best for me to write anything coherent, so I think I'm going to give up on trying for the rest of the night. Also, don't expect much, if anything, tomorrow as I will likely be pulling a 10 am to 2 am workday again.
To give everyone something to chew on for the rest of tonight and tomorrow here are the three articles with a quickie comment on each:
Bush, Congress Battle Over Transport Bill - I really find it odd that Bush would make a stand against spending in one of the few enumerated responsibilities of government (Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 of the Constitution).
Kerry Avoids Flat Out Denial - Great, Kerry is going to Clinton the issue. If he did, he needs to admit it; if not, deny it like a man. No more weaselly stuff. Must be the francophile in him coming out......

Re: highways, construction and maintenance projects have historically been prime opportunities for corruption and massively inefficient spending. And for pork.
That said, we need some infrastructure work - I need to find some time and check out the specific provisions in this bill.
