...nothing against Governor Palin, but why should Alaska get any "stimulus" money? They always run a budget surplus and even give each Alaskan a pretty big check from the oil proceeds each year. They still got the earmark money for the bridge to nowhere, but without the requirement that they actually build it.

Really, is there any argument that can be made for sending our hard-earned tax dollars to Alaska? Or Montana, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, or any of the other states that are home to more animals than humans? "Stimulus"? Stimulate what in those states?
