Ear (mark) Ache

Number of Congressional Earmarks (pronounced "pork") in 2004: 15,877 (Library of Congress).

Number of pork barrell projects earmarks in pending in 2007: 32,000 (Rep. David Obey, Chair, House Appropriations Committee, cited by the Assoc. Press.)

New boss. Same as the old boss. Or maybe worse.

Let's move beyond the silly notion of political parties. Let's just keep voting incumbents out until they get it right.
