More "Whoa! Nellie!" Tidbits


#1) Clinton announces that the federal government will take the State of Arizona to court over the new immigration laws--which are merely enactments of the FEDERAL immigration laws.
#2) Stimulus funding at work--The federal government spent $54 million dollars in stimulus money to the Mohegan Indian tribe's casino in Connecticut with the support of Senator Dodd (D-Connecticut). This casino takes in about $1.3 billion dollars per year. http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/mohegan-sun-casino-owners-received-54-million-stimulus/story?id=10889408
#3) The Obama Administration has spent $1.2 billion dollars on walking and biking paths this year, both from stimulus money and from the Federal Highway Administration.
#4) The squirrels get paths, too--specifically, they get "squirrel bridges" over the highways in Arizona because the squirrels the rare Mount Graham squirrels are getting run over. Arizona has received $1.25 million dollars for these bridges. http://abcnews.go.com/US/Broadcast/arizona-spends-125-million-endangered-squirrels/story?id=10934895
A question??? How will the squirrels know to use their bridges?
