Exclusive: KS Pork-Moore wins coveted PorkBall(s)

Moore is the undisputed king of Kansas congressional pork for FY 2010 based on initial estimates subject to any minor revision I might feel like doing. Moore also gets a most- improved pork ball player considering last year, his pork was a scant 7 million (more than a 22-fold increase from prior year). So next time you see Dennis, give him a well-deserved squeal.

Oink, oink Dennis. Glad to see your web site writes about fiscal conservatism and this kind of number should really impress your Blue Dog (or is it yellow dog) Dem buddies. Also, good job Lynn Jenkins for your follow the herd mentality by not keeping your promises on no earmarks.

Moore, 2010 King of pork: $151, 244, 040.
Tiahrt loves pork: $101, 303,000
Jenkins "I am not asking for pork except" : $68, 000,000
Last place, "get rid of Jerry" Moran: $31, 996, 185.

Losers: Kansas Taxpayers to the corrupt tune of around $352, 543, 225.

More analysis later as I drill down into specific corruption related to funding all kinds of organizations not related to the operation of the federal government. No data yet on Senate pork which is usually a lot bigger and far more "creative".

Merry Congressional X-Mas. Again, everyone request your own 2011 earmarks ASAP. Merely remember there is no standard for requesting pork. So, remember what Jesus stated a while back: "Ask and ye shall recieve." A lot of people obviously did. Why not you? Are you gonna ignore Jesus?

Author Footnote: Moore had a lot more requests for earmarks. He merely omitted some of them including my $250,000 earmark request to study and research how to end earmark nonsense-I am assuming my request was denied meaning I will have to come up with something even more bogus for FY 2011. So when you submit your earmark, get creative and give it bunch of phoney-baloney crap like the rest of the requestors.

Go ahead and get some practice by submitting your own draft earmark here in the comments section. I am sure we will all be entertained.

PorkBall: Congressional X-Mas Time

Porkball time. Data is now available on Kansas's Congressman's porkball winners via the tax and spend politicans. I will be doing a detailed analysis of this new round of pork through and after the Easter holiday. I have to file my own congressional campaign reports and other federal documents this week.

Generally, when I do an analysis of this data, I look to see if there is any connection related to the operation of the federal government. If not, its not just an earmark, its porkball. I also look at whether the pork is to what level of government operations-federal, state, county, local or not related to government at all.

More on this later. It merely takes a while to do an important and in-depth analysis of all this federal porkball giveaway we all pay for.

Moran: http://www.jerrymoran.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1197&Itemid=105

Tiahrt: http://www.tiahrt.house.gov/?sectionid=127&sectiontree=7,127

I suggest everyone submit your own earmark request in writing with an affirmative response required so next time, you will be on the PorkBall X-Mas list also until such as time as this money for nothing corruption nonsense grinds to a big halt.
