The state that tried to build the $400 million bridge to nowhere is tightening its belt and looking to waste only a fraction of that amount to allow you to fly to nowhere. Today’s episode of burning stimulus money tells the tale of the $28 million headed up to Alaska to help the major international air hubs of Akiachak and Ouzinkie enter the 21st century. By comparison, the small field at JFK received $15 million.
The two Alaskan villages will get more combined airport money than New York City because they had higher-value projects that met the “ready to go” requirement. George Peter, tribal administrator in Akiachak, population 659, said the $14 million stimulus grant is “very, very important because it’s the only transportation system we have.”
There may be hope yet for that bridge..
Palin sucks more than UBS
one more day to go….
There may be hope yet for that Greg..
doubt it though)
Gregorian, I’m going to try to be a little more constructive here. Better focus in the photo and a bit more cleave, and I think you might have almost had a decent post.
Gregory is my fave name for Greg.
The calendar version doesn’t fit my image of him.
I hope Palin is eaten by a Polar bear in front of her children.
This actually a fail for Palin as the veto of federal stimulus money was overridden…
This post I actually liked. Gregorium is growing on me.
I thought only EP was allowed to comment on anything related to aircraft.
Tribal administrator?! Does this man seek to denounce African peoples? Do you think we be havin bones through our nose? That’s the kwerstion I would like an answer to, white devil.

@8 Only because we’ve dummy’ed down this site so bad without Bess here! And don’t get me started on EP. Ugh!!! This has been one awful week. No more vacations for Bessy!!!
I hope Palin gets sliced to ribbons by a marauding pack of narwhals backed up by a murder of crows.
For the right amount of stimulus funds, I’ll build you a handbridge to nowhere.

@13 That hand bridge wont go to no where. Its going to lead a geyser of white hot oil all over your $300 custom glasses.
@5 – greg is short for gaylord. right greg’s mom?

@16 Well played Naked. I thought the hand bridge’s lifecycle had come to an end, but combining it with infrastructure projects and natural resources…brilliant!
You know what? I would actually hit that. As long as she keeps her mouth shut.
@20 seconded. I hate her guts but I’d still use her as a receptacle. It’s a thin line.
Well timed porno reference @13
