    Obama/Coburn's federal funding searchable database is up and running
     Obana and Coburn co-sponsored and passed the Federal Funding Transparency and Accountability Act last year, which created an online searchable database for all federal spending. Well the database is now online.

    http://www.usaspending.gov/

    So far, there are some gems people have found:

    $300,000/year for the Moonies, to promote abstinence in Newark
    $506,645,839 for Jimmys seafood and grill / Undisclosed (and 20k worth of ship repairs)
    $3 million on Christmas trees for the gulf coast
    Paper shredding contracts that rise every year from $452,807 in 2000 to $2,902,855 in 2006 (why the increase, I wonder?)
    First Kuwaiti General Trading and Contracting - the people that brought you the pile of bricks that is the US Embassy in Iraq.

    Browsing contracts by major agency is quite interesting. Why does the Dept. of Education need to spend $10 million on a collection agency? Why is FEMA's biggest expenditure "Hardware, Weapons System"?

    Money spent on soft drinks and junk food:
    Coke: $149,753,121
    Pepsi: $186,993,859

    That's a lotta whoppers.
    HERSHEY FOODS CORP. $35,000,497
    MARS INCORPORATED $51,787,064
    NESTLE CO, INC $154,093,316
    NABISCO BISCUIT CO $108,997,361
    PHILIP MORRIS CO. $462,042,794


    More to come, I am sure of it.

    A new record!
     I finally nailed my first 5.10+ today, and it felt great. I've been climbing for about 14 months, and I'm still happy to see steady improvement. I'm in the best shape of my life and still getting better.

    It's pretty awesome.

    Woo
     I saw the Colbert Report on Monday from the audience. It was sweet. If you've got it on DVR, I'm on the left bleacher, top row, 4 from the right. I'm pretty sure they panned twice. It's not the guest I would have picked (Toby Keith) but the show was pretty sweet. We waited about 1.5 hours outside, and another 30m in the 'holding pen', and then filed in and sat down. They had a standup comic to warm us up for 15 or 20 mins, and then Colbert came out and answered a few questions from the audience and then started the show.

    We also got to see something that was apparently rare: the bounce. If The Daily Show runs over, the studio audience gets to see the "bounce", which is the interaction between Stewart and Colbert at the end of the daily show. Normally it's filmed before the audience gets let in, but since the daily show was running late, we got to see it. They cuss a lot in person to each other, there's a bit of chatting while the techs set everything up, and it's amazing to see Colbert switch into and out of character almost instantly, and his "rehersal" for the bounce consists of him looking at the script for about 20 seconds before they start.

    The show was almost flawless, there was one take right after the 'Mr. Freeze' transfer that was redone from there. It was a pretty amazing experience and all you need to get tickets is to email them and request them... and then show up.
