    I would hazard a guess here and say men don't like to use condoms because it feels better without one.

    Can I have half a million dollars now?

    I'm willing to stand up at an Obama news conference for half that amount and tell everyone that's the problem.

    Heck. I wouldn't even care if my mother heard me say it. :lol:

    In any case, your use of the term "pork" is incorrect.

    It may be wasteful spending (debatable), but it isn't designed to primarily service a specific Congressman's district.
