Pork Soon to be Illegal in the United States

Pork Soon to be Illegal in the United States

Citizens of the United States may soon be faced with a shortage of pork. That's because of a new law proposed by none other than myself.

I'm sick and tired of working 70 hours per week so I can help fund some vague insect study in Paris, France. I'm sick and tired of helping to renovate museums which don't even exist.

If you think either MacCain or Obama will change things as President of the United States, then go back to sleep and keep dreaming. Neither candidate will do anything positive for this country. That's because the Congress is too busy padding their own pockets. DUMP THEM ALL!

Here's where your money went in 2008:

Representative Mike Thompson (D-Calif.) obtained $211,509 in olive fruit fly research in Paris, France. . Oh thank goodness. I've been losing a lot of sleep over those fruit flies in Paris. Let's re-elect this guy for sure!.

Representative John Murtha (D-Pa.) obtained $23 million for the National Drug Intelligence Center. What intelligence? I can buy more intelligence than that for less than a million!.

Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) got $1,950,000 for the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service. HUH?

Max Baucaus (D) and Jon Tester (D) received $148,950 for the
Montana Sheep Institute. Now there's money well spent!

Representative Ann Esshoo (D-Calif.) for $1.6 million for the Allen Telescope Array. We sure could use more telescopes. Who knows when we're going to be invaded by aliens. Oh. We already have been. I hope they are pointed toward Mexico!

Senator Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) got $344,540 for the city of Chicago GreenStreets Tree Planting Program. Why should I complain here? Chicago could always use more trees. Why not go out into the nearest forest and just get some more?

Representative Virgil Goode (R-Va.) was awarded $98,000 to develop a walking tour of Boydton, Virginia. . Thank you so much Virgil. I can't wait to take the tour!!.

The fact of the matter here is that those idiots in Congress think Americans are too stupid to notice the difference. Send them all home in November. Who's in charge here? Don't re-elect a single one of them. That's the only message that will make a dent in American politics.

Pork is Slang!

For the 19 year old BoomerBomb from Canada, Pork is American slang for padding legislation for foolish spending in order to bring more money into your home district. Both Presidential candidates are promising "no more pork" if they get elected, hence the title. Stevenrn's title is meant to be scarcastic.

...pork?

Wait, what's with the pork thing? I mean, the title and the openning line seems to have nothing at all to do with the rest of the article. I mean, I'm all for the discusion of finances (although this is another country) but I don't get how this all relates to pork...

But, but, but...we need to fight the fruit flies over there!

I surprised Bush doesn't have a boingy tail now. We know Dick Cheney already has cloven hooves, albeit because he the Devil. Think about how much B.S. pork spending is directly or even vaguely connected to the so-called war on terror. I could see some of it, but there has been so much garbage pushed through is pure pork that only got money because it could be rationalized away. DO YOU HAVE THE WRITE STUFF?

Best thing I've read in a while!

Who are we kidding. We put them there and then we let them do what ever they want with no accountability! I completely agree with you. Until we as Americans get fed up and stop choosing the lesser of two evils and stand up for ourselves, nothing will change! Thanks for the post! Check mine out...it's not political at all...just writing about an experience...let me know what you think! It's my first and only. I'm trying to read other posts to get some ideas of how this thing works! Thanks again! http://www.xomba.com/college_credit_traveling_world
