Slumdog Millionaire!

No I haven't seen the movie yet although I've heard (from more than one person) it was fantastic. Here's one we'll file under the "Things that make you go hmmm category." Louisiana governor Piyush "Bobby" Jindal criticized President Barack Obama's economic stimulus plan as "wasteful spending" but according to a Louisiana newspaper Jindal and other officials from the great sate of Louisiana have requested funds (from the economic stimulus) somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 million to build a rail facility from Baton Rouge to New Orleans. Honestly I'm a firm believer that the people of Baton Rouge should be able to enjoy a cold beverage on Bourbon Street but seriously Governor Jindal with a state that is still suffering from the effects of one of the worst hurricanes in US history I'm sure there is a better way to use those funds (if you want them). I knew you should never trust a guy that got his nickname from watching the Brady Bunch! FYI... In no way am I suggesting Gov Jindal is from the slums or a millionaire (it's just a play on words people!) Here's an excerpt from MSNBC...Thoughts???
