This post is not about that mouse and I’m surprised you are so linear in your thought processes. This post is about the spending bill, it’s possible abuses and whether or not the American people have been had. This is the basic idea I referred to and my opinion. I am not OT.

I did not post a comment based on ignorance of what the bill contains, because I have read as much as I could without being sick. And, NO, I didn’t see a specific reference to a mouse, but I did see the following from MSNBC:

Then where did the $30 million figure come from, if it’s not in the bill? It turns out that $30 million is the total amount that the California Coastal Conservancy, a state agency, recommended more than a month ago to numerous federal agencies looking for lists of “shovel ready” projects as part of the stimulus bill planning

I realize you cannot prove such a provision doesn’t exist in the bill since nothing specific is listed and I can’t find the $30mil appropriation I saw yesterday (I’m going to keep trying). However, IMO, you are unnecessarily aggressive. You have a habit of telling people here what they should or should not say or discuss. You may imagine yourself as someone who is always truthful, but it is your truth. It is more profitable to be a TRUTH SEEKER and a little humility wouldn’t hurt either.

As usual, it is much safer to attack a woman, than a man.

I don’t think it has anything to do with her being a woman (and it seems to me to be a kind of inverted form of sexism to say so). It is about a not very bright person who is in a position of power that she should not be in.

This is not to say that ACORN won’t receive some funding, along with other organizations providing similar services. The mice may even benefit from habitat restoration projects–although it’s unlikely they’ll receive any direct payments or job opportunities.

Dems always complained the Republicans were so controling, but Pelosi reversed House rules destroying procedural rules that have been around for 100 years. Dems were the minority before 2006 but the Rebublicans allowed them to participate and suggest their own ideas. Under Queen Pelosi, all that changed. The “Deer Caught in Headlights” has all the power now. So much for our Republic. Our founding fathers are rolling over in their grave.

You have no proof to back up what you say. I suggest you read those 1100 pages yourself to find how wonderfully they spent close to 1 Trillion dollars. At least you will have something on the people of the Capital, They had to quickly vote on it so Queen Pelosi could fly on a Gov jet to go on her 8 day vacation to Italy and see the Pope. I wish the Pope would turning her over his knee. Frankly, she should be ex-communicated. I’m ashamed to call her Catholic.

Enjoy your new government,….NEOMARXISM. But remember, with the Gov hand-outs comes control. Enjoy being a sheep. The next thing on their agenda, the Fairness Doctrine then the destruction of the Second Amendment. If you wipe out free speech, desent, and then the guns; you have nothing to worry about.

…”The Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse has been forced out of much of its habitat by extensive development of bayside marshland.

Pollution, boat activity, commercial salt harvesting; moreover, decrease in native plant material has also reduced the species’ numbers.

It has been on the endangered lists since the 1970s, and has protected habitat within numerous Bay Area wildlife refuges. Individual political jurisdictions have conducted research and established habitat protection strategies to protect the Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse. For example, the city of San Rafael, California has established a shoreline setback standard to prevent any land development within fifty feet of the shoreline; this measure has been applied to several specific land developments along the San Francisco Bay shoreline.

Measures have already been taken to protect these rodents so what is the $30 million dollars for Nancy ? I can’t think of one good reason to give $30 million dollars to a state who is destroying the habitat of these rodents just to save them ! I can however see a good reason to give $30 million to the education of our children whose teachers are literally paying for paper out of their own pockets to make copies of work assignments for 3rd graders because we do not have the workbooks for our children.

What happen to “Change” America needs? The only change I see happening is who decides to spend our money and who gets it. I am absolutely sick of the BS from Politicans.

A trillion dollars — and I haven’t heard of 1 cent being provided to the children who will have to pay for this debt.

Look, I abhor the bill. I don’t like these legislation packages, ever. But I also don’t like rubbish inventions when trying to defeat them. It makes the opposition look foolish.
