and more from the land of taxpayer absurdity

While Americans are losing jobs and seeing life savings evaporate this Obama/Pelosi/Reid $410 billion Omnibus funds earmarks like:

$2.1 million for a Center for Grape Research in NY
$1.7 million for pig odor research in Iowa
$951,500 for Sustainable Las Vegas (I'm not making this up)
$2 million for "the promotion of astronomy" in Hawaii
$200,000 for a tattoo removal program

Is it possible to remove the odor from a pig?

If we have to eliminate the wealth in the US I guess we might as well make the poor pigs miserable by removing their odor. Let the folks keep their wealth and you want have to worry about $1 million in government money to sustain Las Vegas.
