another story that the mainstream media won't pick up on

thank you, Carl Hiassen. at least a few people (in florida) will have this on their radar, even though you did your best to make it a joke:

Rep. Kendrick Meek (D-Fla)'s mom gets Cadillac Escalade from rich Boston developer.

Rep. Meek and his mom, former Rep. Carrie Meek (D-Fla), apparently had no clue that they both had dealings with the developer, Richard Stackhouse. it's a familiar tale of government trying to do good things for the poor folks, but, because in order to be able to do such good things, it has to involve politicians. and, in this case, former politicians as well.

predictably, lotsa money was appropriated...nobody is accountable for it...it gets siphoned off...and, in the end--nobody will care.

it's all about the "intentions", though...right?
