9,000 Earmarks!
The $410 billion omnibus spending bill that is on deck in Congress is chock full of earmarks from tattoo removal to money for La Raza.
Michelle Malkin has the scoop:
Hill staffer Tom Jones is going through the omnibus spending bill with a fine-tooth comb, and Twittering his earmark findings, including:
* $200,000 for "Tattoo Removal Violence Prevention Outreach Program," pg. 283;
* Maine lobster earmark in the omnibus, pg. 173;
* $5.8 million earmark for the "Ted Kennedy Institute for the Senate...for the planning and design of a building & an endowment," pg. 232;
* and National Council of La Raza, $473,000 earmark from Sens. Bingaman and Menendez, pg. 212.
