« That's More Like It | Main | Checking in with polls » January 26, 2006Porkbusters to the rescueSenators Tom Coburn and John McCain are getting serious about Congressional pork. The pair sent a stern letter to every U.S. senator explaining that they would challenge each and every pork project, as well as oppose the inclusion in conference reports of any earmarks that did not pass either the House or Senate. You can read the full letter here (pdf). Here is a link to an explanation of the letter from Senate staff.

These two probably speak to Senator Frist almost daily. So why do you think they made this bold, daring, courageous declaration via a letter, which was conveniently and immediately released to the press? Posted by: The Oracle at January 28, 2006 06:45 PM | permalink I left out a letter in the URL in my previous comment, and it leads to some strange pop up site that has nothing to do with me. The one below is corrected. Posted by: The Oracle at January 28, 2006 06:51 PM | permalink One man's pork is another man's job (and that man's vote). So long as Congress can allocate money, there will be money allocated to Congressional districts. Almost sounds stupid when you put it that way.
