McCain's Thursday Earmarks - More little Piggies

How much in earmarks did “anti-earmark” GOP senators request? Hutchison: $140M. Ensign: nearly $100M. Snowe: 44 separate ones.

 THE ONLY THING I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IS WHY McCAIN DOESN"T INCLUDE WHICH SENATOR DID THIS AND WHAT PARTY..........
Getting a late start, but here is Thursday's Top To 10 Pork List:
#10. $1,000,000 for a Hawaii Seafood Program in Honolulu
#9. $400,000 for a National Textile Center at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY
#8. $500,000 for (another?!) National Textile Center Research at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC
#7 $1,000,000 4 Textile Research Program @ the Textile/Clothing Technology Corp in NC-guess the textile lobbyists earned their $ this year!
#6. $300,000 for a museum of farming in Urbandale, IA
#5. $1,000,000 for a sewer pipe in North Pole, AK - population a grand total of 1,700, does that include Santa's workshop?
#4 $1,000,000 for improvements to a pond in Maplewood, MN – those are some lucky frogs…

#3 $250,000 for a ceramics museum in Biloxi, MS - a coffee mug for everyone!
#2. $1,000,000 for a “weather camera installation” in Hawaii. Not the camera…just the installation!
and the #1 Thursday pork project is...

#1. $2,000,000 million for ferry boats & terminal facilities at Port Lions, Alaska (population 237). The Ferry to Nowhere.
