I'm pissed because we just passed a pork-laden transportation bill

While I agree the transportation bill was obscene, I think there is a certain amount of irony that Katrina took dead aim at the Mississippi gulf coast where upteen billions of pork dollars have been garnered by Sen. Trent Lott. Except for perhaps Alaska and West Virginia, Pascagoula MS gets the most pork dollars per capita in the US, mostly from Navy shipyards. As the President said, he will someday again sit on the front porch of Trent Lott's vacation home looking out over the Gulf of Mexico, and we the American taxpayers will have again paid for the view.
