Not sure what Michigan got, but the Houston Zoo is nice, much better than the mile you have to walk between exhibits at the Detroit Zoo. I do agree that the system is unfair how everything gets divided up, like the Boston Tunnel. | ||

I heard a report the other day that said the House recently took up a bill that would eliminate all forms of earmarks, which help inflate our federal budget deficit and keep individual lawmakers popular among recipients. It was soundly defeated. | ||

But all 3 presidential candidates voted to end earmarks. | ||

I guess everything really is bigger in Texas, including the earmarks. | ||
