The Senate Appropriations Committee has removed money for a pair of bridges in Alaska.That included the quarter-billion dollar "Bridge to Nowhere." It's real name was the Gravina Bridge -- connecting an island with just 50 people. An artist's conception of one of the plans is pictured here.
Turns out one of the backers was Sen Lisa Murkowski (R-AK). Her family owns 33 acres of undeveloped land less than a mile from where the bridge would have been built. Her father is Governor Frank Murkowski (R-AK). (Sierra Club)

Are you fucking stupid? All that money just so you don't have to take the fairy anymore. The Senator is a heartless bitch. We could use that money for medicaid or something that is worth a damn. I think that the devil will have a field day on her soul.
