Now That's A Stimulus Package!

A Maryland woman who has been dead for 40 years received her federal stimulus check recently in a story worthy of the joke site, The Onion. Only problem is, it's for real.

In a shining example of the new efficient Obamocracy, the $250 check was a tad late, since Rose Hagner passed from this mortal coil on Memorial Day, 1967. Rose's 83-year old son James stated, "I just want to keep it as a souvenir, that's all. I'll never cash it."

Accountability, at its zenith!
