A very "porky" Congressional weekend for the Dems who voted and didn't read the bill!


We will be talking to Rick Moran on Tuesday's show.

We invited Rick to talk about an excellent post on the banking crisis: BLEAK CHOICES FACING GEITHNER IN TRYING TO SAVE THE BANKS!

We will also talk to Rick about this one just posted today:

"It will turn your stomach, at the very least.

With the economy falling down around our ears, these pork-loving, cynical, selfish bastards larded up a spending bill with some provisions that will easily make the Hall of Fame of Wasteful Spending.

A partial list:

$24 million for United States Department of Agriculture buildings and rent

$176 million for renovating Agricultural Research Service buildings

$290 million for flood prevention

$50 million for watershed rehabilitation

$1.4 billion for wastewater disposal programs

$295 million for administrative expenses associated with food stamp programs

$1 billion for the 2010 Census

$200 million for public computer centers at community colleges and libraries

$650 million for the digital TV converter box coupon program

$2 billion for Byrne Justice Assistance Grant program

$10 million to combat Mexican gunrunners

$125 million for rural communities to combat drug crimes

$1 billion for the Community Oriented Policing Services program

$1 billion for NASA

$300 million to purchase scientific instruments for colleges and museums

$400 million for equipment and facilities at the National Science Foundation

$3.7 billion to conduct “green” renovations on military bases"

Anybody in the mood for pork? The Dems are in the mood for pork!
