$24 billion in pork projects. Including $74 million for a peanut storage facility (?) and $25 million to grow spinach.

President Bush and Senator McCain have both expressed their distaste for these projects.

I’m sure the folks at Citizens Against Government Waste have something to say (Here it is, in the NY times).

Its getting vetoed anyway, I hope.
