WASHINGTON -- In a slap to the congressional women's delegation, conservatives have removed a provision in the stimulus package that provided $17 million for vibrators for unemployed women. Disgruntled congresswoman Jan Schablowsky (D-IL) expressed her disappointment, "The public is already skeptical that this stimulus program will be effective. That portion of the package - called it the 'Happy Gal Provision' - was a stimulus that was absolutely guaranteed to work. This leaves women in congress very, very frustrated." In spite of Congresswoman Schablowsky's objections, the money was shifted to a provision subsidizing beer and pizza delivery during March Madness.
