    But the Senate bill is also laden with pork, including:


    $223M for Alaskan fisherman
    $192M for rum producers in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands
    $128M for auto racing
    $33M for companies operating in American Samoa
    $10M for film & TV production
    $6M for producers of wooden arrows
    FUCK THIS BILL THEN.

    And fuck the United States government. Stupid fucking bullshit. In some ways I do hope this country goes downhill. So much BS nonsense with these maggots in government.

    He's saying what half of the Juve fans are saying at any given time. "I hope we crash and burn so they fire the coach and we get someone better."

    WASHINGTON (CNN) -- At least 17 House members said Friday they had switched positions and would now support the proposed $700 billion bailout of the nation's financial system.

    If none of the previous "yes" votes switch to "no," the measure has enough support for passage.

    Rep. Howard Coble, R-North Carolina, said he plans to switch his vote because constituents began urging him to do so. He said the people he represents initially urged him to oppose the plan.

    "By having waited, I think we did improve the bill," he said. "Inaction is not an option.'

    Other Republicans who said they plan to change their votes to support the bill include Rep. Sue Myrick, R-North Carolina. She told reporters that "it's the best thing for the country.

    "I don't care about politics....I may lose this race over this vote, but I don't care ... It needs to be about what's right for the country."
