Maybe pork, but not an earmark

Finally, lgm admits it is something we don't need! Call it pork, call it an earmark, this "Stimulus" is a cancer that will metastasize into something we don't need now or in the future!

It would never penetrate that clam shell you call an open mind.

lgm: Talk about the pot calling the kettle black (OOOH, is that RAAACIST!?!?) Bud, just because SanFranNan says there is no pork doesn't mean there is no pork. If you think the LA-Vegas train isn't pork for Dingy Reid, then you are truly delusional and beyond help.

One of the links mentioned Specter’s pork package, which included $10 billion for the National Institutes of Health, which wasn’t cut back. Wonder what pork Snowe & Collins got. Oh yeah, I forgot, Chuckie said none of us care about a little pork!

I am ashamed that he is our Senator.

He’ll get ANOTHER letter from me.

Hmmmm, maybe thats because Obama has his gambling “interests” set on Laughlin!

For those not in the know, Laughlin, Nevada is the non-Indian casino gambling mecca for when you cant afford to go to Vegas… yeh been there too many times also.

But you still gotta go through BARSTOW to get there. lol (barstow is just where you used to drop off the edge of the earth)

lgm: You are so clueless — reminds me of the old SNL line “Jane lgm, you ignorant slut!” If I call a pile of smoldering garbage a pony, it doesn’t mean you can saddle up on it and ride off into the sunset (although many of us wish you could and would do just that).

My possible sluthood notwithstanding, your fragrant language is not a rebuttal. High speed trains may be a bad idea, but they are not an earmark. sonofdy said (#87):

LGM: A little reading for you and your fellow libs as to WHY things like the crusader and the f-22 are important.

I will if you will -- will you read Ezra Klein's posts on why building transportation infrastructure is important? I don't think so. It would never penetrate that clam shell you call an open mind. (Insults are fun, if pointless.)
