He said he loved pork....

Our own radio station, WLAP collected pork rinds to send to New York Senator Chuck Schumer for that comment he made nationwide on TV stating that the average American doesn't care about all those porky amendments in the stimulus bill. I hope he loves pork as much as he said he did.

Part of the Stimulus Package

Isn't he cute?

How can anyone deny this cute little Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse $30 million? When I first heard that part of the Stimulus Package money was going towards a mouse I was flabbergasted, but then I went on to read more about where this little mouse lives. I know that this $30 million won't create many jobs, if any, but it will save this little mouse's home....and, he really is cute!

Is this what you would call a "Pet Project?"

Don't get me wrong....I'm all for saving endangered species and for the preservation of lands, but I think causes like the plight of this little mouse might be handled best in a separate bill other than the stimulus package that is intended to create new jobs. Maybe hundreds of people are going to be hired by the government to monitor and keep tract of this little mouse...in that case it does have a place in the Stimulus Package.
