Where how do they, Congress, think up this stuff?

Cereal:

While much of this list is "pork" worthy of an Atkins diet, this one:

$37,750,000 added by the Senate for projects in the state of Senate Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), including: $11,000,000 for Route 9; $10,000,000 for Route 10; $8,000,000 for the Canvas Bridge in Nichols County; $4,000,000 for statewide buses and bus facilities; $1,000,000 for the Constructed Facilities Center at West Virginia University for the rapid development and durability of bridges; and $350,000 for Charles Town for gateway revitalization.

seems to include much having to do with making roads and bridges safer. I wonder how we reached the point in our society when road and bridge safety falls under the aegis of "pork," but $87 billion for Iraq doesn't?

I agree with Titus on this one too.

What's a "hoop barn?" I know what a parsec-barn is.


I don't have to ask about this one.

"$270,000 for livestock waste" tarantulas

I agree -- the stench is beyond belief on this one.[/color]
