The most despised practice of our grossly and recklessly profligate United States Congress has to be that involving earmarks. Earmarks! I mentioned the other day that everyone should watch to see how the votes on this evil practice came down when efforts were made by legislators to rein in government spending, and to take names of those who elected to continue their use.
That vote was taken yesterday.
Now there's nothing we here in Virginia can do to the likes of James Inhofe and Lamar Alexander. Oklahoma and Tennessee will have to deal with them. But by God we can do something about James Webb.
That's right. Senator James Webb of Virginia voted to continue to waste our hard-earned tax dollars on this most wasteful of practices.
And James Webb comes up for reelection in 2012. With Obama.
Remember this. Absorb it. Act on it.

I think this is a sign Jim Webb doesn't care about being re-elected. He's bored now that he's got to do the hum-drum legislating thing.
If I was a betting man, I'd bet you're right.
This is my shocked face....
