Its Bacon

From The Washington Times Inside the Beltway.

No more flowers, no more bike paths, no more highway-beautification projects will be paid for with federally earmarked transportation funds until those states with structurally deficient bridges make needed repairs.

Such is the language of legislation Rep. Jeff Flake, Arizona Republican, says he will introduce when Congress reconvenes in early September. He says "many" of the more than 6,000 recent transportation earmarks went to such beautification projects.

He may be a Flake, but he's not delusional and the scientific community is united in that fact.
