This is what democracy in America is now all about. Everyone in Washington knows that there is no better way for a member of the U.S. House or Senate to ingratiate himself with voters than by announcing, "Free federal pork for your community. Come and get it."Amen. Pork only occurs because we voters reward it. The buck stops with us.
When will this moral perversity be brought to a halt? Only when the American people stop rewarding this corrupt practice with accolades, praise and gratitude, and instead greet political announcements of federal grants with the indignation, disdain and condemnation they deserve.
Jiblog is the intellectual repository of a Midwestern, gas guzzlin', beer chuggin', one woman lovin', son of a bitch conservative.

Jacob Hornberger picks up on an idea near and dear to my heart-the fact that pork will only stop when the voters quit stepping up to the trough.
