Bridge over troubled money

If you haven't heard about the bridge to nowhere, you should read about it. But Republicans from Alaska would rather you didn't know about it, since your federal tax money will help build it. Most interesting in this article, which names Alaska Gov. Frank Murkowski (R) as Porker of the Month, is this little tidbit:

"Last week, Gov. Murkowski announced a $1.2 billion state budget surplus. He proposed spending part of that windfall to hire a public relations firm to counter the perception that Alaska politicians milk taxpayers."

HAHA! How about this idea: give them the money back!

And give me my money back while you're at it!
