Ted, > It would take several Dems to equal the amount of pork generated by Stevens. Try again: nytimes.com > Mr. Stevens, an 83-year-old Republican, and Mr. Inouye, an 82-year-old Democrat, routinely deliver to their states more money per capita in earmarks — the pet projects lawmakers insert into major spending bills — than any other state gets. This year, Alaska received $1.05 billion in earmarks, or $1,677.27 per resident, while Hawaii got $903.9 million, or $746.05 per resident, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonpartisan group that tracks such figures. Now I'll wait for the "nuance" that $1,677.27 is more than 2X that of $746.05 ... as if that changes my opinion that pork is bipartisan. Tenchusatsu
