And you thought that "Bridge to Nowhere" died

Yeah. I know I did, too.

I thought the $223,000,000.00 requested by now-indicted Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska had been laughed out of the government and it died.

Right.

Seems the bridge, so far, isn't going to be built but check this out: Alaska still got the $223,000,000.00.

To me, this is even worse.

They asked for one quarter of a billion dollars for a bridge to serve an island of less than 100 people, they still got the money and the American people weren't really "let in" on the little secret.

In addition--making matters much worse--THEY GOT ANOTHER 38 MILLION DOLLARS for a road that, right now, apparently, is being built UP TO THE BEGINNING OF SAID BRIDGE.

Oh, and folks, Sarah Palin, current Republican Vice Presidential candidate, was all for it, when she was in Alaska, in spite of what she says on the road now. She's on the record.

Some maverick, huh?
