The House Dems’ lonely cry: We’ll end the war by funding the war and, meanwhile, here’s some pork.

"To get her narrow majority of 218 votes, Ms. Pelosi and Appropriations Chairman David Obey had to load it up like a farm bill: $74 million for peanut storage, $25 million for spinach growers, $283 million for dairy farmers–all told, some $20 billion in vote-buying earmarks of the kind Democrats campaigned against last year."

It won’t pass the Senate, of course, and if it does Bush has promised a veto. Just don’t call them unpatriotic.
