At least the blind cavefish provision got cut. That was pure pork, man.

Well, at least they got rid of the earmarks.

Now, you don't know who requested it.

The blind cavefish provision was doomed from the start beccause it lacked support from The Ancient Society of Stonecutters No Homers.

"Enough is enough. Im sick of these mutha-f*ing snakes, in this mutha-f*ing stimulus!"

No, the Pig-Human hybrid project was pure pork.

Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?

Well, technically, it was 50% pork.

Even if it's removed you can find out: It's all part of Congressional Record.

Frankly I think all these pork spending items may end up in court - starting with injunctions to force a review of them.

I sincerely hope so MG, because I hate to see money flushed down the sewer, even if that sewer starts in Washington.

Actually, I think they got it up to 63.7%, but no one's sure since the bean counters where at the lima-human hybrid project.
