No Stimulus For Blago

[Chris]

The current text of the House stimulus bill includes the following interesting provision:

None of the funds provided by this Act may be made available to the State of Illinois, or any agency of the State, unless (1) the use of such funds by the State is approved in legislation enacted by the State after the date of the enactment of this Act, or (2) Rod R. Blagojevich no longer holds the office of Governor of the State of Illinois. The preceding sentence shall not apply to any funds provided directly to a unit of local government (1) by a Federal department or agency, or (2) by an established formula from the State.

Oh GOD -- I am dying!  I was planning to go to sleep, despite CC's complete pass on my mental music problem, but now I can sleep knowing these people are so politically stupid that they couldn't pass a bill that says Noon=12:00!!

Good night -- I will be laughing until I sleep!
