I mean, who needs Sarah…

…when there's a Boehner boner just laying there?

When U.S. House Minority Leader John Boehner told a newscaster Sunday that not a single stimulus-funded road contract in his home state of Ohio had been let, he was wrong.

The Ohio Department of Transportation has OK'd 52 stimulus-funded road and bridge projects at a cost of nearly $84 million.... An ODOT spokesman called Boehner's statement "disappointing."

And Scott Varner noted that ODOT had just OK'd six more stimulus road projects which will cost about $43 million.

Can he even find Ohio on a map anymore?

A local note from Christopher Frizzelle at Slog...

Deep thought: Could we just turn the viaduct into an elevated bike path? Wouldn't that be insanely cool? Holy expletive, it's beautiful up there.

Yes it is...

The President’s Budget Would Cut Critical Programs for Washington.

The budget:

§ Cuts $195 billion nationally over five years for Medicare and Medicaid, threatening to endanger Washington’s 797,000 Medicare and 851,000 Medicaid patients' access to the care they need

§ Cuts federal funding to build, rehabilitate, and improve Washington’s roads and bridges by $10.5 million

§ Cuts Washington’s Improving Teacher Quality grant by $2.1 million, leading to 9,212 fewer children with highly qualified teachers

Of course, it's even worse than that.
