Yeah, I'm with you. This appears to be a complete nonstory. As several references note, all of the awards going to the erroneous zip codes can easily be tracked to their correct zip codes right on the recovery.gov site. This is nothing but someone writing or keying the wrong zip code for an award, and someone else not bothering to take the extra two minutes required to figure out what actually happened (I'm looking at you, John Stossel). Of course, this doesn't stop the right wing bloggers and comment-writers from foaming at the mouth about billions of dollars in stimulus money having "vanished". ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
