#1 Then theres the Fifty million for the National Endowment for the Arts buried in the so-called stimulus Package.

Money Quote:
Kirstin Brost, a spokeswoman for Rep. Dave Obey, (D-Wis.), House Appropriations Committee Chairman, defended the proposed funding to the NEA. "Artists need jobs just like everyone else," Brost said. "Fifty million out of $825 billion doesn't seem like an extreme amount to support our artists."

#6 Billions to one step closer to taking away your franchise. There will be zero fair elections. That leaves one final option for the right if you ask me.

#7 Beck reported tonight that the package contains an Illinois exclusion clause as long as Blago is in office. It will be interesting to follow up on that one. If it is true, I wonder how that type of typical Cook County quid pro quo might effect Blago's criminal trial?

#8 That leaves one final option for the right if you ask me.

Yep. Been that way for a while actually, just ain't that many folks realize it yet. Or, they're in denial and don't want to see what is in front of them.

It is going to get messy.
