I really do love pork, but not this kind.
A reasonable (meaning no holds barred on any candidate) deconstruction of pork-barrel spending from my one of my favorites, Matt Taibbi:
The thing that's really vile about earmarks is how cheaply we all get sold out. Two million of your taxpayer bucks in exchange for a $5,000 donation? Greenlighting a billion-dollar Pentagon boondoggle for a couple of free flights? Hey, if you're going to sell us out, at least fucking bargain. But it's not their money, and they never do.
If you haven't seen Michelle speak, you really owe it to yourself to get moved. I've always heard how good she was, but never known for myself:
Obama so inspired some folks they went out and made their own video to his speech. Check John Legend, Common, will.i.am, Scarlett Johannsen, Herbie m'fin Hancock, Kareem-Abdul Jabar and a rack of other folks.
It is amazing to me that people get so inspired by hope. If you're still on the fence for either party, please, please read up on the issues. Think hard about who you want representing us as a nation to the rest of the world as we battle through this fractured and crazy time. Who can do good things for all of us, and has the potential to help a nation that is so much more than red and blue.
Regardless of who you choose, go vote your ass off on Tuesday.
