THE
STIMULUS
AT
WORK

Some
have
said
that
the
stimulus
hasn't
saved
any
jobs,
but
here
is
a
case
where
at
least
one
job
was
saved.
Oregon
State
University
Athletic
Director
Bob
DeCarolis
was
considering
firing
their
basketball
coach,
Craig
Robinson,
after
an
8-11
start
(2-5
in
the
Pac
10
conference).
When
word
of
this
reached
Washington
,
Undersecretary
of
Education
Martha
Kanter
was
dispatched
to
Corvallis
with
$17
million
in
stimulus
money
for
the
university.
Craig
Robinson's
job
is
safe
for
this
year.
For
those
of
you
unfamiliar
with
Coach
Robinson,
he
just
so
happens
to
be
Michelle
Obama's
brother.
Just
a
coincidence
I'm
sure!
