Honesty in DC

Remember just a few weeks ago when the Senate fought off an enormous boondoggle called the 'bridge to nowhere?' That was the pet highway project of Sen. Ted Stevens, (R-Alaska) spending hundreds of millions of federal dollars on projects of questionable benefit in remote areas.

Did we just dream that was cut from the budget? Might as well have, because it's still there, in the budget. They just took the specifics project out of the budget and gave Alaska a blank check for the same amount instead. The whole episode was a sham.
