Defining Pork Down.

SC Democrat defines tax rebate as "pork."

In a news release, State Democratic Party Chairman Joe Erwin said Sanford's spending plan "has so many election-year gimmicks in it that its hard to take seriously. Suddenly, Sanford the tightfisted Libertarian is Sanford the pork-king."

Pork is a taxpayer-funded study of whether a cricket crosses it's legs left-over-right or right-over-left. Pork is a study of owl vomit. Pork is a bridge to nowhere.

Tax cuts, and tax rebates, do not qualify as pork, which is of course, a shortened form of "pork-barrell spending."

My favorite line from the article?

...and $174,175 cut from state support of Special Olympics.

Taxpayer funding of the Special Olympics? Now that's pork.

This Sanford guy may have all the makings of a Randian superhero.
