GOP: Stimulus packed with pork
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The House on Wednesday evening passed an $819 billion economic stimulus package Wednesday on a party-line vote, despite President Obama's efforts to achieve bipartisan support for the bill.
The final vote was 244 to 188. No Republicans voted for the bill, while 11 Democrats voted against it.

I wish I got a bailout or a tax break or a stimulus. I feel like Neil Young..."there's a bailout comin', but it's not for me." But, at least I'm single, white, and way past 21....a mannish boy!!
Funny you should mention that Mannish Boy. I'm reading "Delta Blues" by Ted Gioia. Amazing how after reading so much about the genre and location, there are still so many fascinating facts. About Muddy, RL Johnson, Son House, John Lee and all the rest. Makes me yearn for a few minutes at the intersection of highway 49 and highway 61.
Yeah, you're single and white... and in the AARP zone. Live it up!
Dago Blues!! The South is just like pussy....the deeper, the better. I mean, that's where the roots are. Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans, Natchez, Baton Rouge.... Whoa yeah....ain't that a main....AARP main...don't need no books on blues, don't need no bailout...whoa yeah.
Mayn....that's better. Full growm mayn...way past 21...let's spend togetha night girl....whoa yeah.
