Thank God for conservatives and their small-government ways!

Thank God for GOPs and their small-government ways!

Praise the Lord for Republicans and their valiant efforts to slash
wasteful spending!

And three cheers for Ted Stevens of Alaska and his... million dollar
bus stop?

Yes, it turns out that Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Santa Claus) has
appropriated a whopping $1.5 million of taxpayer money - that's your
money, remember! - to improve a bus stop outside the Anchorage Museum
of History and Art.

Expressing some uncertainty about the idea of spending so much money
on a bus stop, Anchorage's director of public transportation Tom
Wilson said, "We have a senator that gave us that money and I
certainly won't want to appear ungrateful ... [But] if it only takes
us $500,000 to do it, that's what we will spend."

Well that's good to know I guess - I mean, considering that $500,000
is fifty times the usual cost of bus stop renovations in Anchorage and
all.
