Jobs created or saved due to Stimulus Bill includes a fraud ( and 32 staffers for Michelle )

Michael Mann's Climate Stimulus A case study in one job 'saved.'
As for stimulus jobs—whether "saved" or "created"—we thought readers might be interested to know whose employment they are sustaining. More than $2.4 million is stimulating the career of none other than Penn State climate scientist Michael Mann.
Mr. Mann is the creator of the famous hockey stick graph, which purported to show some 900 years of minor temperature fluctuations, followed by a spike in temperatures over the past century. His work, which became a short-term sensation when seized upon by Al Gore, was later discredited. Mr. Mann made the climate spotlight again last year as a central player in the emails from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit,...****Mann is being investigated by his own university. (Fraud is not protected by "tenure.")"Jobs created or saved" is a joke epitomized by the example of the 32 staff jobs created to serve Michelle Obama.****
