Lost or stolen items from Congress? I remember one time the Army charged me over $200 from my $400 monthly check for losing items.
How about the items lost or stolen BY Congress – like our freedom?
$100 million for sand! What does the fookin' Army Corps of Injineers now? Probably a cat box for ACORNS to poop in.
It's all freaking preposterous. I'm keeping track of these porkulus expenditures and will post them in the local papers.
Would be funny if it weren't so tragic. Browsing through the Forbes 400, I noticed the youngest person on the list was the founder of Facebook. But obviously this is an area which NEEDS our tax dollars.
I've asked it before and I'll ask it again… Why do we need the National Science Foundation?
Get rid of the NSF and you'll eliminate a significant portion of the wasteful spending in government.
Speaking of pork………

I don't think the Obama's eat pork. I think it is against their religion.
we need to get rid of congress and senate and all of those czars and that would eliminate a hugh amount of waist and then get a good honist GOD LOVEING CHRISTIAN person as president. hey iv got a n honist Question that i would like an answer to can anyone answer me this Question what does obama do i mean he has all of those czars doing his work for him and he has the NEA doing his work for him and he has the main stream media doing his job for him and he has senate and congress doing his job for him. i mean if every one else is doing the job that he swore that he could do then why isnt he doing it and what does he do to earn his pay check i think that we are entitled to a full refund of what we have paid him includeing all living expenses and transportation cost for all travel that he and his family have done. so far all he has done is make people mad with his insult's and his arigance and just his simple stuppid look's and since he won that stuppid prize for noballs he is really getting the big head he doesn't realize that the prize was done as a joke on him to make him look even stuppider.
I didn't know NO-Bama was Jewish……oh wait…you mean the OTHER no pork religion….
Gary,
Speaking of that, did you know that Congressman Alan Grayson from Florida, is a Bronx Jew who moved to Florida to run for office? Read his bio, he is well connected. His studies? Geriology; the study of elderly. Perhaps he will be the Death Czar.
In sticking with my theme of calling a spade a spade, Congressman Alan Grayson is a carpetbagger. His parents were Teachers; Union Members. He is described as a "Progressive Democrat." Notice this new breed of vermin are all Progressive?
Con-gress must think that the American public is real stupid. I cant believe that they tried this sham….but the word is out so it is time to make allot of noise, again and again and again if that is what it takes. I wonder if that makes me a racist?
Gary,
If you are the average whit male, you are at the top of the list.

No, I didn't know that he was a Jew. I do not understand how a Jew can be a Democrap, just mind numbing. I did know that he is a big progressive though. He might make a good death czar come to think of it he is vile enough for the job.
I thought as much….I am in good company though….

His take on things is chilling. Search around the web. He is scary.

Since I am close to the top of the list, I'll save you a seat.
Damn right he is scary….I think I will be looking into his background a little more….Anyone in CON-gress that puts Bush lied, People Died bumper stickers on their car is deserving of a REAL close look.
Haha did you see the names of his kids? Haha Haha
Alan and his wife, Lolita, have five children – Skye (12), Star (8), Sage (6) and two-year-old twins, Storm and Stone.
Thanks
Dang…he was thrown under a bus once….. maybe he should be again.
"Alan grew up in "the projects" in the Bronx. He heard the squeal of the wheels of the elevated trains, every five minutes, all day and all night. At the age of 12, he took the subway to school, by himself. At the age of 11, a bully threw him under a moving bus. He lived. "
Add this to your Pork Report:
CON-gress to refund ACORN commencing on Halloween Night. That is two weeks from now. CON-gress really took a stand, eh? I wonder if Lindsey Graham is going to dress as a drag queen and have a coming out party for the re-funding soiree'?
Imagine that, The Standard printed in 2004 that NO-Bama was born in Kenya…. . I wonder if NO-Bama insisted that The Standard print a retraction. Inquiring minds and all that….
Hey, I wonder if I am now on NO-Bama's enemy list…..naw I already was.
