Representative Allen West (R-FL) wants to abolish the IRS,

eliminate the income tax, cut Social Security, Medicare,

and unemployment benefits.  In addition to the things he's

against, West is for tax cuts for billionaires (so that they will

 have money to donate to charities) and a $21 million govern-

ment grant to build a runway at an airport in his district

(which is not pork, he says, since it will create jobs).  

Congressman West is not insane, by the way, even

though he looks and sounds like it.

Lindsey Graham Courageously Vows

to Defy GOP Earmark Ban

Too late, they realized the earmark had been used to build
the Railroad Bridge to Nowhere.

GOP Gets Queasy Over Earmark Ban, Decides

to Redefine the Term So That It Applies Only

 to Democrats and to Call Republican Pork

 'The Other White Meat'

"The 52 members of the Congressional Tea Party

Caucus, which pledges to cut spending and reduce

 the size of government, requested a total of 764

earmarks valued at $1,049,783,150 during Fiscal

Year 2010. Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-MT) took

the prize as the Tea Partier with his name on the

most earmarks, a total of 88 worth $100,514,200."

Ah, hypocrisy, thy name is Teabagger!

No sooner had "Sooee, here piggy, piggy, piggy!" left Mitch

McConnell's lips before Senator Kyl came a runnin'.

This little Inhofe piggy went to market,
This little Cochran piggy stayed home,
This little McConnell piggy had roast beef,
This little Inouye piggy had none.
And this little Bond piggy went ...
"Wee wee wee" all the way home.

House Democrats May Ban Earmarks, Fearguth

May Be Crowned King of Scotland

Saint Kyl of the Perpetual Earmark

"Earmarks are bad, unless, that is, they're mine.

Then they're good. That's my principle, and I

stand by my principles!"

'Lardon' (rhymes with 'hard-on') is a strip of stiffened

pork inserted into a piece of tough meat to make it more

tender, easier to chew, and less difficult to swallow. That's

what the Senate leadership used to get the financial rescue

package passed 74-25.

"E Pluribus Unum? I think it means 'Thanks, But No Thanks'."

Palin Pipeline Used to Transport $453 Million of

Taxpayers' Dollars from the Lower 48 to Alaska

Palin Poutraged That Governor of Missouri

Dubbed Her Alaska's 'Earmark Queen'

On Friday, while Sarah Palin was defending the $200 million

in earmarks she had requested in 2008 as Governor of Alaska,

John McCain was denying that she had ever requested any.

That's pretty funny, isn't it, Senator?

"Did you say this earmark is called 'The Thrilla from Wasilla'?"

"Yes, Senator."

"My, my, my, that's a lot of pork! What do you think they fed

it to make it so huge?"

"Hogwash, Senator, nothing but hogwash."

This earmark from Wasilla says she is really enjoying

the Republican National Convention, even though

it has thrown her completely off her diet.

Earmarks into Alaska

"I will use the veto as needed. I will veto every 
single beer, er, ear, er, bill with beermarks, er, ear
 with billmarks, er, bill with earmarks.

Dang it, Cindy! I need another boilermaker!"
