Blogging the stimulus

Propublica has come up with a novel idea of following the economic green shoots by following the Stimulus.

The Independent non profit making organisation which aims to keep investigative reporting alive has produced a blog Eye on the Stimulus aims to track the stimulus from "bill to building"

Here is a taste of an article

When President Obama spoke [21] of how the stimulus would "rebuild our roads and our bridges and our schools," he forgot to mention another thing the stimulus will be rebuilding -- our bathrooms.
Among the 150 stimulus-related bid requests posted on the federal contracting Web site FedBizOpps.gov [22] is one for "22 precast concrete toilets [23]" at the Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri.
The stimulus will also be used to demolish the sauna [24] and build showers in the women's locker room at Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota. Bathrooms will also be renovated [25] at the McConnell Air Force Base in Kansas, while the Laughlin Air Force Base in Texas will replace the fitness center steam rooms [26].
