In light of Bush's recent interview I figured I ought to go back and meme something I ignored last time. This is a collection of "pork" projects from a recent spending bill. Some of them you will find that you like, but thats not the question. The question is whether they ought to be publicly or privately funded.

These are not the programs Bush cut, but they are examples of the sorts of things we are paying for that conservatives would like to cut. Bush has also claimed that many of the programs that he has cut are programs that are redundant. Even if you like them, its possible that other, similar things are getting money. This is ONE appropriations bill. These things add up...

In reading this, part of me thinks, damn, if these idiots are getting federal funding I'm sure I can. I ought to learn to write grant proposals! :)
