No more "earmarks"

President Bush has publicly called for reform of "earmarks." (Bloomberg) "Reforming earmarks is the responsibility of both political parties," the President said.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with November 7th.

Seriously though, regardless of the motives, I'm glad to see that something may finally happen. This stuff had me really ticked off for the past year. And I'm sure that this was one of several reasons that Congressional Republicans got clobbered last month.
