Where is the pork?

The market plunge today was a real vote of confidence for the Senate version of the "Spendulous" bill. It certainly disingenuous to say there are no earmarks in this bill. No earmarks were required - the pork was loaded into the bill right from the beginning. I started to read the bill - it is a real page turner. I'm going to post the ludicrous spending items here on my blog.

Pork in the stimulus bill.
