McCain, along with Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn, unveiled their study of the stimulus program yesterday, and if you think keeping monkeys coked-up as a means to create job growth is ridiculous, it's just one of several porky additions to the program outlined in "The Maverick's" report.
Also on the list: replacing a new sidewalk with a newer sidewalk that happens to lead into a ditch.
According to McCain's report, the town of Boynton, Oklahoma, was awarded $89,298 to replace a quarter-mile stretch of sidewalk that was built only five years earlier.
The sidewalk, as you can see in the photo below, leads straight into a ditch.

Uncle Sam doled out $1.9 million to send researchers from the California Academy of Sciences to the the southern Indian Ocean islands and Africa to study, photograph, and capture "exotic ants."
In McCain's last stimulus-program report card, he pointed out the $950,000 issued to Arizona universities to study the "division of labor" in ant colonies.
Also on the most recent list is more than half-a-million bucks to replace windows at a Forrest Service visitors center in Amboy, Washington, that closed nearly three years ago.
The building remains empty with no future plans for its use.
These are just a few of the money-wasting programs funded under the guise of "stimulus," The Maverick avers.
