Speaking of Coburn, he's highlighted what could be the most absurd expense in the stimulus package:

Road signs costing $300 each, to be placed at construction sites to inform motorists that the project is being paid for with stimulus money.

As we pointed out in Sunday's editorial, a good site to keep track of stimulus projects is at www.recovery.org. It's run by a private firm, Onvia of Seattle, Wash. It's more up-to-date than the White House's official stimulus web site, recovery.gov, which isn't expected to have comprehensive data until October.
