This type of PORK & misappropriation of stimulus $$$ pisses me off

[freeradical]

Murtha is just a gross example of what unfortunately happens all the time with politicians from both parties. In California, Darrell Steinberg recently tried to sneak a $10 million dollar earmark for a cultural tolerance center into the water bond bill. He probably figured that nobody would notice, but it was discovered, and he was called on it by both Democrats and Republicans. The really funny thing is that if he had simply sponsored a separate bill for his pet project, it likely would have passed in California.
