In earlier posts, I have alluded to our local "good fortune" in being the beneficiaries of "Obama Stimulus Money".  I noted today another story about a Reed Spring's "gift" for a sewer system upgrade.  Following "awards" for area bridges, sewers, roads, and whatever else, there can be little doubt that locally we are economically better off.  Clearly we must conceed that had the "Washington Social Engineers" not included us in their "oppressive, freedom robbing, rights usurping, "stimulus plan"; well, things would be far worse.   When we consider that our local area government officials are, virtually to the man, conservative Republicans, how fortunate are we that these upstanding "traditional values" stalwarts are multi-talented. They, who daily strive against the "evils of social liberalism", are equally skilled in the writing of "stimulus grants proposals" seeking gratuities from Washington.  We, who are the benefactors, do not consider these leader's ambidextrous talents to evidence hypocrisy. Golly Gee, they are just "outsmartin" those intellectual elitist, using their God given common sense; something non of those "fruit cake liberals" seem to possess!
