"I can understand why there are those who would call it pork."
-- Terry Everett, US Representative from Alabama, who asked for $200,000 in the latest congressional spending bill to fund the construction of a covered arena for the Alabama Peanut Festival, held annually in Dothan, Alabama, a city with a population of 60,000 people. Not only did Everett get his money, but Congress actually gave him $2,500 more than he asked for.
