Bail Out Pork

First thing's first--the Angel game last night was very dissapointing. Lackey pitched great, except for that one pitch to Bey. The Angel hitters just weren't aggressive enough. I told my buddy that letting Lester of of the hook in the 1st and 3rd innings was gonna bit them in the ass, and it did.

So, the senate passed a revised bail-out bill. You would think that the revisions would reduce the amount of the bail-out or give the tax payers more protections. Uh, no. Actually, it's just got $100 billion in mostly unrelated tax sops (though there is extra insurance for bank deposits). So, where's John McCain, Mr. Anti-Pork? Voting yes, of course, even though the price tag just went up with items that have nothing to do with the banking system or mortgages. Apparenly, some pork tastes better to him than others.

I'm writing my congressowoman urging her to vote no. Not that it matters since she voted yes the first time around, and seeing that one of the new giveaways is to movie studios, I doubt she'll change her mind.
