EARMARKS

So far I have only had time to look at Utah (land of milk, honey, and earmarks, beehive and hog slop trough state. Senators Hatch and Bennett (R) (Bennett being a lame duck) and their colleague representative Matheson (D) have over 3 BILLION DOLLARS IN EARMARKS FOR UTAH. Aren't we all proud of the conservative heritage of the fine men.

Arizona and Idaho tomorrow.

Idaho:
This is tomorrow: What the Sam Hills wrong with you people in Idaho? Throw senators Crapo and Risch out, the dynamic duo from Utah earmarked 3 BILLION DOLLARS your pair of sad sacks earmarks are only stealing AROUND $752 MILLION DOLLARS from you

Arizona:
According to my source (Washington Watch.com) neither Arizona Republican Senator has any earmarks at this time. However the Democratic Reps have requested more than 425 MILLION DOLLARS from trough.

Over $4.18 billion dollars in porked earmarks for thes three conservative states? states.

Why are these thefts called earmarks? This is the way in which swine are traditionally branded. Perhaps we should be earmarking or notching every senator or representative with earmark in the bill.
