I'm sure there are quite few in Congress who would be very interested in learning where it is they should go in order to obtain these free homes in the Washington, DC area. Do you have the 411 on that to post for us? Homes in the DC area tend to be quite expensive, and it can often be a stretch to afford one, particularly when you already have another one to maintain back in the home state or district.
Meanwhile, if the governors had wanted to lay low on the matter of the stimulus money, they didn't really need to mention it. It's their agenda that's being followed after all, yet here they are, splashed all over the media noting how badly their states are in need of this funding. I wonder how much you depend on your own state's spending without managing to realize it...
