Pork

Below are some of the earmarks that persuaded some Senators to vote for a $700 billion package (thanks NY Post).  

This bill has an unprecedented  cost and is seen as having such a huge impact - positive or negative- on the US.  Still, some Senators either voted for a bill - thinking it would cost us $700B and not really help the economy - in order to get their funding, or they believed the bill was necessary to save our economy, but still demanded extra monies to secure their vote.  I would have liked to have seen some Senators  (e.g. McCain) refuse to vote for bill as long as it contained ANY earmarks.  After all - wouldn't President McCain be forced to VETO this bill to keep his campaign promises, due to the pork?

* Manufacturers of kids' wooden arrows - $6 million.

* Puerto Rican and Virgin Is- lands rum producers - $192 million.

* Wool research.

* Auto-racing tracks - $128 million.

* Corporations operating in American Samoa - $33 million.

* Small- to medium-budget film and television productions - $10 million.

* A $223 million package of tax benefits for fishermen and others whose livelihoods suffered as a result of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill

At what point...

...does one become an enthusiast?

Barack Gets Rick Rolled

Obama also says down with the "daily puppy"!!!

Juicebox News

Well, the results are in.  Thank you for all of you who voted on the "Cat of the Day" poll.  We had over 1200 submissions, and while the voting was very close, more of you (including some very vocal members of the editorial staff) have decided that the "Cat of the Day" has no home on Juicebox. 

In other news - I'm very happy to present the "The Daily Puppy"!  I'm sure you will all join me in welcoming this fine addition to the Juicebox family.  I look forward to seeing cute and adorable puppies everyday on the Box.

Convention Fanboyism

While I had refused to post anything else until the ridiculous "Random Cat of The Day" was gone, I couldn't help this one.

So after watching much of the Democratic National Convention and now the Republican one I can't help but notice the enthusiasm of the people that attend. How many old ladies with hats can actually fit in one room? The tradition of this astounds me. I wish it would die but we all know it never will. For a few short hours a night I actually hate the colors Red, White, and Blue. While I think this will top the list, I'm trying to think of other events where people gather with as much excitement and costumes more than at a National Convention. Here's what I've got so far:

•A New Batman/Star Wars Movie

•Comic Con

•Any Women's Ministry Event (especially around Christmas)

I'd put an any Apple event, obviously for the excitement, but there is a lack of costumes - unless you count the number of black turtlenecks.

What am I missing???
