Of course it is a government website, so I suppose that may be intentional.

it worked, but I still got a warning that it wasn’t allowed.

How do you do a subtitle now?

I would be happy to email you a PDF printout of the site as it was when the diary was promoted. Apparently someone has now updated the page to remove the item description.

The story reported the site as it read. The inaccuracy was in the cited page.

When we claim without evidence that two pounds of ham cost a million, because we want to hurt the opponent, we lose credibility. Let’s keep it accurate.

$1.2M for two months spent slicing hams. WHAT THE HELL is this doing coming of “stimulus” money? Making up a number, let’s say this employed 100 people for the TWO MONTHS of this project’s life. Does Obama count that as 100 jobs created even though they went away after two months? And if they moved on to some other part-time “stimulus” project for two more months after that, does that count as another 100 jobs created, bumping Obama’s total to 200 jobs? What a racket!!
