<snip>There are currently just under 22,000 contracts for stimulus projects. They range from just a few pennies for nuts and bolts at a local hardware store to billions of dollars for nuclear waste cleanup.

But dig a little deeper, and you'll find stimulus has also funded an electric oyster shell dispersal cart, ice machines, $25 million of pork and ham, a reach-in freezer, $3 million worth of auto lawyers, office furniture and nine water safety mascot costumes. <more at link>

I'm thinking of putting a winding drive of oyster shells in - the sound of shells crunching is quite pleasant, almost genteel as I sit on the veranda sipping a sweet tea. Wonder how one gets one of those shell apreaders.
