If you want to see a classic example of unfettered liberal flapdoodle in print, catch this bleeding heart pabulum from one Lorie Schaefer, who inked a response to my “Gravy Train” column about all the kids in Nevada who are getting a free or reduced-priced lunch.

Even though the Democratic majority vowed to return Congress to a path of fiscal responsibility, the 2008 appropriations bills were stuffed with wasteful pork projects. While Representatives John Campbell, Jeff Flake, Jeb Hensarling, Scott Garrett, and David Obey (1 amendment) offered 50 amendments to strip outrageous pork projects from the appropriations bills, only one amendment, […]
