RePORK card - see how your reps did

Sigh.

- $2 million for a "Paint Shield for Protecting People from Microbial Threats," requested by Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-OH-11).

- $1 million to the Center for Instrumented Critical Infrastructure in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, requested by Rep. John Murtha (D-PA). No congressional member could confirm the existence of the alleged Center.

- $2 million to establish the "Rangel Center for Public Service" at City College of New York, requested by none other then Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY). (Oh, Lordy, that one's a hoot!)

- $50,000 for the National Mule and Packers Museum in California, requested by Rep. Buck McKeon (R-CA).

- $100,000 for renovation of the Fire Fighters Hall in Columbus, Ohio, requested by Rep. Deborah Pryce (R-OH).

Etc...

But America needs a Mule and Packers Museum, doggonit!

Hope you're doing well, Matt. And good work on coverage of the primary. FWIW, I would not have wanted to be there in your place because while I'm a genius online and all, television is not my medium!

Tom:

FWIW - I feel myself totally inadequate at all I do - teaching, preaching, radioing, TVing, columning, and certainly blogging. So when a compliment like yours comes along I slurp it up and am nourished by it all day long!

So...thanks!
