Whether or not Earmarks are justified depends on which side of the aisle your rep is sitting on…
This is certainly an interesting read and video…
http://www.bookerrising.net/2009/01/condi-rice-liar.html
Booker Rising is “A news site for Black Moderates and Black Conservatives” How interesting that Condi is featured in this focus on lying, and how to tell.
“NY Lawmakers defend earmarks in spending bill” from Democrat & Chronicle: http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20090309/NEWS01/903090344
Came across this great post on the D&C site story about Maggie’s Signage for the Ren Square site…just thought I’d share because consensus so rarely happens:
“The one thing I do have to say about this project is that it has almost 100% consensus among the posters on here.
That’s unheard of !!!!
Republicans, Democrats, conservative, liberals, neocons, tree huggers, urban & suburban, bus riders and people that drive their cars downtown, just about everyone that’s not involved in the construction contracts all agreed,
WE ALL THINK IT’S A WASTE!
Maggie ask yourself, could we all be wrong?”
The age of Cyborgs is in reality, approaching:

It is frightening to think how something like this will be used in political arenas. You know it will happen.
This makes great sense…my little bit of bucks is safe and secure in my credit union!

Another thing to add to the discussions. This is infuriating! It is about time the gas pricing got investigated…
http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2009903140338
Gas prices in NY should be investigated. Why are the prices so high in Monroe County? I also believe that you will find the prices in the Town of Gates higher then other towns in MC. Lets bring the prices down.
Damn the banks…..

They are being allow usury and can’t be stopped until July 2010??? Come on!
If you need help with your mortgage, check out this site to see if you are eligible for the new Federal Program, expected to go to 4% interest rate:

Good luck…
Maggie must be salivating:
Bulk of Stimulus Bucks “…is committed to ready-to-go infrastructure projects throughout the state.”
