I read or heard on TV that there are so few people on the island the one bridge would go to that they could buy each person a Lear Jet with the expense involved!!
I swear, I wanted to vomit when I saw the clip of Ted Stevens threatening to quit if ANYONE dared touch his TWO HUNDRED MILLION + BRIDGES TO NOWHERE PROJECT! The problem in Washington is the career politicians who put their own self-interests over that of our country.
I used to think Ted Stevens was a good guy. I was wrong. He's nothing more than a political pimp. Sadly, there are lots of political pimps on the Republican side of the aisle and lately, they seem to be deaf when it comes to reigning in the spending. If they don't get hearing aides soon, it will be the downfall of the party, IMO.
