Los Angeles spent $70 million in stimulus funds to create 7.76 jobs
A new piece of evidence has emerged in the debate over the effectiveness of President Obama's 2009 stimulus package, and it's not good for Democrats. According to two newly released audits performed by the Los Angeles controller, L.A. spent enormous portions of the $594 million in stimulus funds it received on projects that created or saved just a handful of jobs. All told, the audits - available - examined $111 million in stimulus spending by the city's Department of Transportation and Department of Public Works, and found that the money went to projects that created or retained just 54 jobs. That works out to roughly $2 million per job.

The $71 million that went to the Department of Public Works, which funded 15 road-surfacing and similar projects, was projected to save or create 238 jobs. But according to the audit, the money created just 7.76 jobs or slightly more than $10 million per new job and saved 37.7 (the fractions are a result of calculating the number of jobs by hours worked). The Department of Transportation's $40 million created or retained just nine jobs, the audit found.

Man Arrested After Bragging About 14-Year-Old Girlfriend on Facebook

(Sept. 13) -- There's always a risk of oversharing on Facebook -- especially when you're a 27-year-old man attempting to illegally marry a 14-year-old girl. Police arrested Robert Nickson Jr. of Delaware County, Pa., earlier this week after learning of his alleged sexual relationship with a teenager through the couple's Facebook postings. Nickson and the underage girl haven't exactly been hiding their relationship, according to cops. They have both uploaded Facebook profile photos showing them together, and posted status updates noting they are "in love" and "engaged," police told the Philadelphia Daily News. They also allegedly sent text messages saying they were afraid the law might get in the way of their relationship. Court documents quoted in the paper reveal that the couple knew that the age of consent in Pennsylvania is 16, but they "didn't think they would get caught."

Nickson was charged with statutory rape, aggravated indecent assault and corruption of a minor after the girl told law enforcement officials that she had sex with the suspect at least four times in the apartment he shares with his father. ♫ Who let the dogs out? Who? Who? Who? Who? Who? ♫
