[Spridgets] Huh???

[Bill McLeod]

Well, it may be spring in the desert, but I don't have a Spridget to 
drive, so I'll weigh in....

Legistorm.com, which is a government transparency site funded by the 
taxpayers for common sense, doesn't list any such earmarks for Speaker 
Pelosi.  On the other hand, googling "Nancy Pelosi earmarks" without any 
qualifiers, brings up an amazing variety of rants on the subject, but no 
list of actual earmarks by number.  I realize that we all have a 
tendency to accept what is out there as fact, especially if we are 
biased in that direction to start with, but passing on garbage as fact 
just doesn't make any sense.  Like the earlier sensible contributor said 
(my paraphrase), come on, guys, do yer homework!
