Looks like the Senate just re-served the Crap Sandwich that the House served up, but instead of fundamentally changing it, they  just added a few strips of bacon to it… For those that haven’t seen some of the pork added to the “Bail-Out” Bill, here is a few: 

  New Tax earmarks in Bailout bill

• Film and Television Productions (Sec. 502)
• Wooden Arrows designed for use by children (Sec. 503)
• 6 page package of earmarks for litigants in the 1989 Exxon Valdez incident, Alaska (Sec. 504)

Tax earmark “extenders” in the bailout bill.

• Virgin Island and Puerto Rican Rum (Section 308)
• American Samoa (Sec. 309)
• Mine Rescue Teams (Sec. 310)
• Mine Safety Equipment (Sec. 311)
• Domestic Production Activities in Puerto Rico (Sec. 312)
• Indian Tribes (Sec. 314, 315)
• Railroads (Sec. 316)
• Auto Racing Tracks (317)
• District of Columbia (Sec. 322)
• Wool Research (Sec. 325)

 Give me a break… if the House passes this, after its rejection earlier this week, I’m going to hurl.
