Thank you SO MUCH for having our Tater for 4 days while we were in Boston. He so loved the Shedd Aquarium, visiting with you all, and being with Will too.

So much for trimming the pork. The practice of decorating legislation with billions of dollars in pet projects and federal contracts is still thriving on Capitol Hill - despite public outrage that helped flip control of Congress two years ago.

They set up three gigantic screens on which they have...
