Plenty of signs...just no signs of jobs
Stimulus Spent Over $617k in Non-Existent Missouri District This seems to the norm rather than the exception. More examples here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.
I love the smell of transparency in the morning.

Thank You China!
Remember this sign when interest rates soar, the value of the dollar plummets, taxes (at all levels) increase and a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk (INFLATION) costs $15.00. I really hope China keeps financing the reckless spending of our political class.Related

Why the Stimulus Flopped by Mark Steyn
The other day, wending my way from Woodsville, N.H., 40 miles south to Plymouth, I came across several “stimulus” projects — every few miles, and heralded by a two-tone sign, a hitherto rare sight on Granite State highways. The orange strip at the top said “PUTTING AMERICA BACK TO WORK” with a silhouette of a man with a shovel, and the green part underneath informed you that what you were about to see was a “PROJECT FUNDED BY THE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT.” There then followed a few yards of desolate, abandoned, scarified pavement, followed by an “END OF ROAD WORKS” sign, until the next “stimulus” project a couple of bends down a quiet rural blacktop.

Weekend 106.0
(1) Airport Check-in: The Palm among new JFK eateries
(2) Another quote from How Rome Fell...
"There were no hordes of barbarians hurling themselves time and again against the walls of civilisation."
(3)
(4) A quote from Admiral of the Ocean Sea by Samuel Eliot Morison...
"The northeastern shore of this gulf is noted for the subterranean streams that flow down through the limestone and break out under the sea not far from the shore, welling forth such a volume of sweet water that that swarms of manatee are attracted to quest their thirst, and seamen may fill water casks without the trouble of going ashore."
I'll be quoting from this Pulitzer Prize winning book again in September.
