I am not doubting the validity of the requirement to upgrade the monitoring equipment, but I thought the stimulus money was designed to stimulate the economy. A high bang for the buck to increase commerce and to create jobs. I fail to see how the use of stimulus money to purchase upgraded volcano monitoring equipment does that. Sounds like more pork barrel politics.

All three of the previous posts have their points. Realist I think fittingly the first live reporters sent down should be from the Faux News Network. It would be really hard for them to slant or distort that story. And Lefty your point about government pork is well taken. And Local fisherman what a great and funny punchline you delivered. Keep up the good work Hawaii posters!

Like I said, I am not questioning the requirement. Just the source of the funding, along with how many more mega millions in "stimulus" money for projects that do nothing to stimulate the economy.

Daily Horoscope for December 26

Aquarius

If you're still happily munching chocolates and all sorts of other goodies, you'll have to take yourself in hand at some point during the coming fortnight. Maybe you'll have to compensate for all the festive over-eating by taking more exercise or cutting back on the calories, or perhaps you'll decide that you can't delay giving up smoking any longer. As Mercury turns in your twelfth house of secrets, messages you receive at this time may be very subtle or contain hidden meanings meant only for your understanding.
