Because of course, earmarks are a brand-spanking new, never seen before 2007 thing, right? Oh please. The only difference is that now that Republcians aren't in charge in Congress, Bush might actually use his veto power, instead of signing off onto Republican bridges to nowhere and increasing our debt.

But of course, when earmarks are put in by your beloved Republicans, they're necessary, right Dellinger?

heck no. and repubs are guilty as well. the bridge to nowhere in Alaska I believe was Repub sponsored. Neither idea is any good and of course we have to pay for it. I'm just getting old and tired of paying for things I have no use for and don't want.....

That was a good one. Linked a town of 9,000 people to an island with 50 (count 'em 50) inhabitants. Cost? A cool $200,000,000+. A ferry boat might have been cheaper?

Buying them all mansions and yachts in FL would have been cheaper

Should be a beer/betting earmark for DT outings in some bill. Probably cheaper than the bridge to nowhere. Maybe not.
