A Small Sampling Of Pork In The Spending Bill

Thanks to Wade for pointing me to this.

Here are just a small sampling of the pork projects in the spending bill. Don't forget, Obama said that he was going to go line per line and knock these things down. He has not done this to the Stimulus or the Spending bill. He is letting the Democrats get every greedy dollar they can get.
