From NZ Bear:
I just completed adding a new feature here at Porkbusters: the Pork Hall of Shame. This will be a place for us to recognize those Congresscritters who have their noses deepest in the Federal trough.
We plan many different Awards of Shame, but for our first challenge, we are seeking examples of Congressional web sites which boast of pork that the Representative or Senator has “brought home”. I’ll pick on Senator Richard Shelby as an example, because, well, he deserves it: check out the lovely list of all the Federal dollars he’s brought home to Alabama all front-and-center-like on his front page. Charming!
But we’re sure Senator Shelby isn’t alone, so go browse around House.gov and Senate.gov and then submit the worst offenders you find to the Hall of Shame. You can also vote on existing nominations.
Hey, whatever it takes to get the word “earmark” back into wider circulation, I’m all over it!
But then, I’m a sucker for quotidian poetry. And of course, for hard liquor shots lapped out of the belly buttons of hot, cosmetically-enhanced strippers.
But that last bit is purely incidental.
…And not meant to be uttered aloud. So, apologies.
How does a congressman hold his liquor?
By the earmarks.
(OK, what’s even worse than a bad joke? An allusion to a bad joke that forces you to tell the bad joke.)
Well, we all know how effective William Proxmire’s “Golden Fleece Award” was…
Alabama has some of the best pork BBQ in the world!
Boy, those must be some big innies, Jeff.
I’ll agree with taht Coral. Dreamland…ain’t nothing like it nowhere.
Nothing wrong with pork.
As long as it benefits Los Angeles City and County, that is.
