   But in their perfect socialist utopia won’t we all be riding bicycles and enjoying the scenery? That is an absolutely necessary expenditure!

   Now somebody explain AIG and the rest of this pork package to me please!

   Well, we will need somewhere to walk when we can buy fuel for our cars.

   I’m actually beginning to wonder if oBambi is trying to destroy all of us with any stock or investments.

   If ACORN were running things, what would they have done differently than BHO? Anything?

   Did anyone else notice that the gears on the original Recovery Act logo won’t work properly? Both gears have 12 teeth, but the gears are different sizes. The gears will eventually break.

   Oh, got it.

    I’m sure Sheriff Joe Biden is on top of this.

    “To you, he’s Mr. Vice President,” President Obama said at the Department of Transportation this morning. “But around the White House we call him ‘The Sheriff’ because if you’re misusing taxpayer money, you’ll have to answer to him.”

    How about a photoshop of The Sheriff?

    So is The Sheriff going after all the congressmen and senators that voted for this crap? Actually they’re misusing taxpayer money just by getting out of bed in the morning.

    By answering to him, he means you’ll have to explain why you got caught.

    Although spending federal dollars for bike paths may seem frivolous, there are many of us who pay taxes and use bike paths for commuting and, especially, for recreation. As a recreational rider, I am glad to see that some of the funds to be spent on transportation related projects will be going to something that I can use, rather than to subsidizing inefficient, overly expensive mass transit systems. I am basically opposed to the stimulus package, but, since the money is going to be spent, am happy to see that some of it might be of use to me.

    Look, if the government is going to build a bike path, at least do it right. A classic example of how to do it is in my neighborhood. The median of a busy boulevard has both a bicycle path and a pedestrian path. Almost no one walks on the latter because the surface is simply rocky dirt. Walk on it dry, and your shoes just pick up pebbles and dirt. If it’s wet (raining right now) it’s unwalkable. So, everyone walks on the bike path. At least it’s asphault, but also has loose rocks all over it. There is of course, the danger that cyclists may hit pedestrians. Actually, it’s probably worse for cyclists. It is constantly interrupted by intersections and is not straight. Incredibly, billboard posts are right in the path and there is no lighting or warning before a cyclist comes upon them.

    Great idea!
    I don’t know how to…and, I don’t think I can here at my office computer, anyway.
    But, wouldn’t a photoshop of Slow Joe’s head on Barney Fife as Barney is reaching into his pocket for his one bullet be worth a yuk or two?

    “Yep, Stranger, we got us a new Sheriff in this here town. Name a’ Joe Biden. Mebbe ya heard o’ him? Some yayhoo start misspendin’ all our tax dollahs gotta answer to Sheriff Joe!”

    Right. Been real effective so far.

    What the funk. Seriously, the last thing we need are bike paths. We need better solutions for the problems we’re facing these days, and we don’t need money we don’t have thrown at the problem.

    Case in point: I’ve come up with an extremely cheap light rail solution for three densely-populated areas in Northern New Jersey (Essex and Hudson primarily, but also a small part of Passaic). It involves expanding the Newark City Subway over existing and abandoned freight rail lines, and not a single new track has to be laid to get this up and running. The most that would have to happen is some new electrical wire would need to be run along some portions of the run. Current cars that are in use on both Newark’s subway line and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail (which this would connect to as well) could be used, which means that fewer new cars would need to be purchased to make this a reality. In addition to expanding the ability of commuters to get back and forth without cars, reducing traffic jams which are frequent in the areas surrounding Newark and most of Hudson County, and shortening the average commute by a sizable margin in some cases, the economy around these new light rail-serviced areas would be grown almost immediately, with commuters flocking to a cheaper, quicker option and construction crews working to upgrade the areas surrounding the rail lines.

    See the plan at http://expandncs.blogspot.com and let me know what you think.

    Oh, and btw: I want this financed via local/private investment, and I refuse to participate in any project that attempts to use any of this bailout nonsense.

    Ok. I’ll admit it. I’m scared. Petrified. This guy is ruining our country and I feel powerless to do anything! If people aren’t ashamed that they voted for this putz, then they’re just stupid.

    I have apologized to my 2 1/2 year old almost every night this past week for the mess of a country we are leaving him.

    I get peeved at these elitists who thing we all need to use mass transit and live in eco-friendly urban collectives.

    Where’s choice now!?!?!?

    Besides how would mass transit and bicycle-only transit help people in a farming community of 3,000? Huh!?!?

    These goons need to live in the real world and visit flyover country sometime. I guess they just want to move everybody but the farmers and ranchers to the cities. It takes local infrastructure to support agriculture. Farmers need farming communities. (To put it in terms Biden can understand, you need a feed store, a large animal veternarian, a hardware store, a Dairy Queen (essential), and a ton of other businessesto make it work.

    A great, if unintentional, metaphor for the Obama government.

    Otherwise, if these logos are going to be everywhere, I have two words for you:
