What the CA Senator asked for wasn't 'pork.' It was to boost the study of olive fruit fly infestation, which affects 4000 jobs annually in CA, not to mention lost sales and therefore lost tax revenue to both the State and Federal governments. As a major player in CA's economy, figuring out how to stop the destruction of the crop is a necessity, not some frivilous request.

If you're looking for frivilous, how about a teapot museum in Virginia, which was given millions? And remember the bridge to nowhere? Well the road to the bridge to nowhere was still built. A very nice, never used road that ends where the bridge would have begun. That also cost taxpayers millions, including you if you pay taxes.
Palin obviously didn't do her homework, and 'assumed' that research on fruit flies was silly. All she could conjur up was a tiny little bug that is of no significance to the human world. Well it has a HUGE significance, and studying it is NOT "pork." Oh yeah, I want a moron like her in charge of the free world. "You betcha." Her handlers give her moronic talking points, and rather than check on the relevance of them she just goes along. And she would do the same thing with whoever 'handled' her in the WH. It took me 10 minutes to find out that fruit fly research is CRUCIAL. But know knowthing Palin can't be bothered with checking things out. She's too busy getting her make up done.-

While we are on the subject, how about the natural gas pipeline that has yet to be built but is the cornerstone of Palin's claim to improving the energy problems in the US? TransCanada has taken a substantial amount of money in contracts, but has way too many legal hurdles and challenges ahead of it. Some have argued it will never be built. Sarah Palin is not a leader, and cannot claim to be a scientist. Honestly, why was she chosen? Who in the McCain goon squad is doing damage control whenever she opens her mouth?

And if you were the author and wrote it this way, I would not have posted my remarks. But to equate what she has said to what you want to mean - I am not sure if I want to listen to that type of noise. Maybe I am too logical and focused.
