McCain Report

Does anyone else think that McCain's website logo looks awfully familiar? It strikes me every time I visit his site that I have been redirected to the french fry company of the same designation. (McCain for President vs. McCain Foods Unlimited).

On a more serious note, McCain today emphasized his views on one of his strongest (and most uncontroversial) topics--pork. In Iowa today, he said:

"I think it's important to point out that in the last transportation bill was a $50 billion piece of legislation. Two billion of it was earmarked pork barrel projects."

This subject is one that most can agree upon; too much fat goes into the bills written in Congress. It is an understandable situation for individuals who all have a say in whether a particular bill flies or dies, and who see a clear opportunity to "make good" with their constituency. Nonetheless, it is infuriating for someone from Michigan to have to pay for a pet project of some Senator from Texas.
