    Number of comments: 0
    Below are all of the instances in HR 1 (the stimulus bill) where a monetary amount was shown. I took the raw text and ripped out the numbers and formatted them to currency (our currency.) It is not a perfect methodology but neither is this bill.

    OK now what?

    I believe that the version of conservatism that we have been used to for the last 14 or so years died last night. I think it is time to reassess what it means to be a conservative and actually act like we mean it.

    I have been plugging away at more states, but I nearly forgot to post a complete image of the West Coast.

    Number of comments: 0
    It has been a long primary season and frankly speaking the last few months were pretty boring. I did like seeing Team Hill and Obama spend lots of money and tear into each other, but that kind of entertainment lasts only so long.

    Number of comments: 3
    The people working for the queen-in-waiting are sure dedicated in their quest for dirt. Team Hill got the goods on Obama by finding out that he wrote a paper in kindergarten on how he wants to be President.

    I imagine the paper went something like this:

    One of the biggest arguments that the dem's have against Bush is that "America's status around the world has declined since Bush came to office."

    We all can bury this stupid idea of having an electric bugle churn out Taps at military funerals. Last Friday Gov. Blunt basically ordered the Guard to reinstate this honor at funeral services.

    I would really like to know who signed off on this policy in the first place.
