The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has dropped its requirement for "stimulus" project propaganda signage, according to a communiqué from the department’s inspector general.

Sounds like a Capone line.

I always get a kick out of the Putting Oregon to Work signs around here in a state with one of the worse economies in the nation.

Would be nice if the sign said PROJECT FUNDED BY THE
ENSLAVEMENT OF YOUR
GRANDCHILDREN
BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
TO THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT
I like it regardless.
"Project Funded by the "Enslavement of your Grandchildren to the Chinese Government Act of 2009"
Ok. Link didn’t work. Just search for “this sign has sharp edges”.
at our expense...

Bill Bennett had a caller on this morning who felt the signs harmed Obama more than they helped.
His reasoning? There was no one working at any of the dozen or so sites he saw.
The only thing worse than getting screwed out of your money for worthless projects if getting screwed out of your money for worthless projects that aren’t even accomplished.
