Have you viewed the list of ‘”wanna have’s” from stimulus money by the Conference of Mayors – totaling in at $149 billion – yes with a ‘b’ 149 BILLION  OMG  There are oddball items but this is absolutely the winner:  City of Austin (Texas) is requesting a 36-hole Frisbee golf project – Austin’s proposal is listed at $886,000 on the lineup of 18,750 projects.  Most of the requests are as expected: roads and sewers.  But not Austin Texas!  And Austin already has 5 public golf courses, so to quote the editorial page of The Austin Statesman: “it was goofy to propose nearly $1 million in federal funds for one more [golf course] since Austin already is the St. Andrews of disc golf.”  ROTFLOL

Of note, Austin is a city proud of its banner t-shirts and bumper stickers proclaiming: “Keep Austin Weird!”  Other cities on the list: Boynton Beach, Florida asks for $4.5 million for butterfly gardens in an “eco park.”  Chula Vista, California asks for $500,000 for a dog park.  Is this what Obama-Pelosi-Santa were expecting on the $900 BILLION “stimulus” list??!!!  OMG  These projects were proclaimed by 44 to be “shovel ready to create jobs around the country.”  Amazing just amazing - yet another disappointment since 44 took the oath – both oaths #1 and #2.  I can just see the glee in the eye of the vendors of sodas and jerky at the park – genuine job stimulus at work for the 44 administration.  Not a massive leap of logic here: visualize the scream on Wheel of Fortune when the contestant bends over to spin the wheel: “Big money!  Big Money!”    Everyone, pace yourself and I will do same.  Adios
