Sneaky’s Weekly Twitter Update – 2009-02-07
Stimulus
Here is an interesting article about economic stimulus efforts in Japan. Much of the spending has been for “bridges to nowhere” — projects which increase the national debt, but have relatively little economic value after the construction is complete.

4:51PM: Funny Conan O’Brien Bud Light commercial. Funnier after [...]
