Friday Night Funk

...
This morning as I got ready for work I watched Good Morning America.

Over 12 hours later, I am still ticked off about one of the segments I saw on there.

It had to do with stimulus money for rural airports.

Disclaimer: Airports, even rural ones, need money to maintain safe travel stuff. Maybe even spruce up the place so that displaced travelers can be comfortable. I get that.

BUT 15 MILLION for a scattering of airports in various 'don't blink your eyes you'll miss it' Alaska towns? I am not hating on Alaska, my mom & step dad lived there for over 10 years & my brother still does. But really? One of the airports has TWO aircraft, TWO baggage handlers, and on the average, TWO passengers a day.

You're killin' me smalls!

Where the heLL did all that money come from? Cause we are talking 15M EACH, not total for all to share.

And why aren't they using more of it to FEED kids? Improve shelters? Orphanages? Stock food banks? You know what would be really cool is if all school lunches were FREE for every kid.

I am so aggravated.

Sorry to be a downer.
