TITS!!!

Oh, good, got your attention!

In case you haven't heard, the 778 page Pork-o-Rama bill is on the fast track to being rammed through the Senate before any of us hoi poloi are allowed to see it.

Obama is getting a bit hysterical about that. I mean, he loved saying ...

“We are going to ban all earmarks, the process by which individual members insert pet projects without review.”*
before He huffed in front of fellow spread-the-wealth-authoritarians Democrats ...
“Some critics … contend the bill is full of pet projects. When was the last time that we saw a bill of this magnitude move out with no earmarks in it? Not one.”*
Wow, that little wire holding up the halo over the plaster messiah is slipping a bit, eh?

Goodness, I don't like the Pork Bill ... I guess that makes me unpatriotic!

The One's expectations of proper attitude from us over the jump ...

But, if we spent the money on a war in an Arab country? Well, that's just wise investment. Three trillion is the estimated total cost of the war in Iraq, yet Darleen continues to hum "Proud to be an American," whenever she thinks of it.

Hypocrisy and god-bothering? You are priceless, Ms. Click.

Eisenhower’s “National System of Interstate and Defense Highways” spawned and grew such businesses as riding lawn mowers and king size mattresses (think about it). That was government economic pragmatism. If Republicans are going to obstruct paying for ‘government gifts’, they should also offer up suggestions for long term gifts that keep on giving, so our kids don’t wind up hating us too much.
