By implication Arizona's Shadegg and Flake consider spending money for a potential bird flu outbreak as pork ...

Shadegg, Flake criticize Democratic tactics on war bill by Mike Sunnucks, The Business Journal of Phoenix

I guess from the point of view of Arizona Republican Congresscritters John Shadegg and Jeff Flake instead of spending money on the health and welfare of the nation our tax dollars should be streamlined into the veins of Haliburton or some other Republican mafia corporation.

Though I'm not up on the issue of peanut storage in George (perhaps it is pork) but levee reconstruction in New Orleans and the potential of a bird flu outbreak are real issues that the Republicans ignored as they spent down the treasury with their pet war in Iraq.

How they can mention budgets and pet projects and pork with a straight face and how anyone with a brain (oh, sorry, that excludes most of the media, doesn't it) would actually care or write about what these Bush enablers think is beyond belief.
