In Senate, Bipartisan Love of Earmarks
This harkens back to a discuss we had in class about pork. So if I am understanding this whole situation -- one Senators earmark is another Senators pork - depending on what your constituents need and or want in your home state? So is earmark sort of a euphemism for pork? Kind of like how utility means happy.
