Ohio Porkers, you're in the spotlight

Whoa, Ohio porkers! The Dispatch - for the first time I know about - has named names. Including Porker Space and Porker Tiberi, who were voted to office in part by people of Newark, and other Ohio Porkers Wilson and Pryce.

They were named for their part in the scattering of billions of our tax dollars in porkified projects. Go read it here.

There is but a single way to stop Pork Barreling: That is to tell voters back home about it. That is to remind voters next election day that they sent a Porker to Washington.

Traditionally, the media tell about this awful Pork Problem, how many billions were wasted by it, go "tsk tsk" and that's it. They generally don't mention the local porkers nor benefactors by name.

That the Dispatch has done it is the foremost step toward getting it stopped.

If every newspaper would do likewise, the federal Pork Barrel would vanish; it cannot exist in the spotlight.
