Get Your Earmarks Here !

by Doug Mataconis

Short on cash or maybe just want a little extra spending money for the weekend ?

Send an email to the Senate Appropriations Committee requesting an earmark. Apparently it’s all the rage on Capitol Hill today.

Personally, I don’t plan on being greedy. Maybe I’ll just ask for a fully stocked bar for the use of The Contributors.

  1. Doug,

    I’ve already got the kegerator… Can you request a keg of Stone Arrogant Bastard for me? I feel like that would be a proper beer to be bought by our elected officials with tax dollars…

  2. Hmm…I’ll settle for some hot crawfish to go with that cold beer. Maybe the Senate can buy it for me in the name of Katrina relief of course.

    Also, I want an AR-15, the Senate can buy it for me in the name of Homeland Security.
