Shovel Ready Bridge to Nowhere

UPDATE: Suggested new logos here.***The first shovel ready project, somewhere in Missouri. Serving fewer people than the Alaskan bridge to nowhere. Geraghty:
We Have Good Reason to Feel Like Obama Just Sold Us a Bridge
CNN is doing a report right now on the first project funded by the stimulus, replacing a bridge in Tuscumbia, Missouri. The bridge had to be closed to large trucks in 2007 because of structural concerns.

If you're wondering where that is, it's about three hours from St. Louis. The population in the 2000 census? 218.
$8.5 million. And this is going to revive the country bigtime. I assume the town has a bar and a gas station. Who knows what else can go in there now. Maybe a recovery.gov museum with the first shovel enshrined. Put the sign on it you're good to go.

P.S. Why couldn't it have been in Weeping Water, Nebraska? A much cuter name.
