[...] Two months ago, we found out that over six billion dollars in Porkulus funds got credited as spent in false Congressional districts. Now the same group that first made that discovery has found millions of dollars disappearing into nonexistent zip codes as well (via Instapundit): Closer examination of the latest recovery.gov report for New Mexico shows hundreds of thousands of dollars sent to and credited with creating jobs in zip codes that do not exist in New Mexico or anywhere else. Moreover, funds reported as being spent in New Mexico were given zip codes corresponding to areas in Washington and Oregon. [...]

[...] I also wanted to do a news round-up. The title of this piece refers to the inane plans of an Obama-approved “Health Care task Force” (read “Death Panel”), indicating they will up the age of recommended mammograms for women to 50. If such policies had been promoted or practiced, I would have probably lost my best friend on the planet to cancer (she was diagnosed with a stage II cancer in her mid-40’s). I don’t often comment about our current President, as I generally like to forget all about him. However, it has become quite clear we need to lose this boob for many good reasons, including women’s health. Happily, the trends seem to indicate more people are seeing it my way. Though the CBO has massaged the numbers of the Senate Healthcare proposals to be deficit reducing, no American paying attention believes any number coming out of the Obama Administration (i.e., fake districts receiving billions in Porkulus).

It’s Bush’s fault, or rather Cheney’s – obviously they are trying to stack the electoral deck for the 2012 elections. OMG what if those phantom electors actually vote for CHENEY. Either one – quick create jobs rather than districts – this whole thing is sprialing out of control. Blame Bush, whimper.

Some may feel that a $6.4 billion error is simply a rounding problem, but I recall a time when that used to be considered real money.

Anyone who has seen Office Space knows “the pennies are for everybody.”

Oh yeah, Palin’s the joke, while Biden runs the Stimulus plan.
I get it. That explains the made up numbers…

Now Obama is talking double dip recession, what Dick Morris has been warning us about all year.

I cannot wait until we either impeach or vote out these losers in DC.

Nope, this is it, this is all the looking anyone is going to do, this is all the accountability you can expect. This is Barrack Obama ripping you off to buy America right out from under you from your congressperson and your Senator.

And yet his approval numbers are creeping up! This doesn’t make any sense at all. Is it that no ones knows about all the lying? How can people disconnect Obama from the constant dishonestly coming out of the Whitehouse.

How do people still think the guy who lies as easily as he breathes is likeable.

I liked him once, but figuring out that all his talk was a bunch of hooey changed that really fast for me.

What is wrong with 52% of Americans?

Remember when Obama said “I can say the words that have never been said about a construction project – that this project has come in on-time and under-budget”

And then we found out the project hadn’t even been started!!

It is a pattern of incompetence. All the fake speeches and phony jobs data won’t put food on kitchen tables this winter. People are losing their homes to foreclosure. Hope & Change is a sham.
