We generated a bit of a buzz last week thanks to a story from Texas Watchdog's Austin bureau that found Texas has spent $3.7 million to weatherize just 47 homes through December under a program set up by Congress a year ago in economic stimulus legislation -- amounting to a taxpayer cost of $78,000 per home.

We spoke with the morning team at Houston's News Radio 740 KTRH about the story.

National Review Online's The Corner picked it up.

Thanks also to national show host Neal Boortz for writing about us on his blog.

Thanks also to all the local media outlets who linked to our piece.
