Porkbusters

N.Z. Bear and Glenn Reynolds are teaming up to identify wasteful government spending (I'm tempted to ask if there's any other kind) and the whole blogosphere is invited to help.

All you have to do is post about wasteful spending in your own state, or better yet, Congressional District, and then add what you find to the totals here.

They're keeping score by tallying the pork identified by bloggers, versus the pork identified by Senators and Representatives. The score so far (as of Sunday night): Senators and Reps, zero dollars; Bloggers, $1,242,454,970. (UPDATE five minutes later: Make that $1,561,254,400. The blogosphere never rests.)

So far, I see nothing listed for Wisconsin on this totals page, but I know we must have our share of pork.

Badger bloggers, let's have at it. Read this post for the rules, and then, let's get to work.
