Bren, That was interesting, I'm a little pissed Obama/Biden didn't vote to redirect that. Don't know why McCain missed both of those votes. In politics, deals are always being cut to make compromise. Nobody does anything for nothing. That's why everything takes so long. I think Sen. Ted Stevens threatened to quit if he didn't get his money for the bridge. They should have let him quit.
Sen. Tom Coburn from Oklahoma does some good things. Probably would have been a better candidate than McCain too.
