Skylights for a state-run liquor warehouse

That's one of many projects that the stimulus/pork program is paying for.
Does it sound ridiculous? Over-the-top?
Heck... how much do you think it would cost to put skylights into a warehouse?
$2.2 Million Dollars
The excuse? Its part of an energy saving program.
Let's do a cost-benefit analysis on that. How long do you think it would take to save 2.2 million in lighting and heating costs in a warehouse by adding skylights? More importantly: does anyone realize that light & heat are the two things that you're supposed to keep liquor away from?
But nevermind all of that. Someone thought it would be a good project, and someone is going to make 2.2 Million off of it.

This is just one of a hundred items that Senator Coburn, a Republican from OK, listed off as wasteful spending, according to this article from Yahoo.
The aritcle takes pains to explain that Coburn is a one of the most 'fiscally conservative' senators, and uses the famed term 'others' to hide that some people like pork projects:

The list by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., includes projects others would identify as ideal for creating jobs and benefiting generations of Americans: skateboard parks, streetscapes, upgrades of park facilities, bike trails and parking garages.

Yes, other people do identify those projects as ideal for creating jobs: senators. The rest of us know better. Creating a park is a great thing, but its not the best way to create jobs. Once the park is made, there is no extra benifit from the park that creates jobs.

Anyway, I know that, unfortunately, nothing will happen from this. Because the people who support Barack will forgive any pork he creates, and any wasteful spending that goes on. Including, but not restricted to:

...a $3.4 million Florida Department of Transportation project for an "eco-passage" - an underground wildlife road crossing for turtles and other wildlife in Lake Jackson, Florida...

Yes, you read that right.
That uber valuable stimulus package is paying for a way for turtles to avoid getting run over on a highway, by creating a $3.4 million dollar tunnel for them. Bizarre.
