Ah, Dear Gentle Reader(s), this is a wonderful day for sniggering and snorting and giggling and guffawing. The Los Angeles Times carries a front page article on a construction site in Alaska. One's eyes do roll!
There it is. It's designed to connect to the canceled ("I told Congress, Thanks, but no thanks.") bridge to nowhere. Construction began in June, 2007. The bridge project was canceled in September, 2007. Work on the road continued.
The mayor of a nearby town has this to say,
On a clear day recently, Mayor Weinstein flew over Gravina Island, looking down on the nearly completed road. "When Sarah Palin goes on national television and says: 'I told Congress, "Thanks but no thanks," ' it's not true," he said. "The implication is we didn't take the money. But we did."
The mayor said he was considering posting a sign on the road for the rest of the world to see. He said it would read: "Built Under Gov. Sarah Palin, Paid for With Federal Earmarks."
Indeed.
Is the Governor being truthful? If she fudges on an issue such as this, what else is getting, um, fudged?
Trust, but verify.
