McCain/Coburn vs. Pork

Senators McCain (R-AZ) and Coburn (R-OK) have teamed up to challenge Congressional pork. It's about time someone gave anything more than lip service to government spending, even if it won't win many friends within Congress.

On that same note, President Bush has finally signalled that he is willing to use his veto if spending is not restrained.

Maybe the Abramoff / lobbying scandal will be the best thing that happened to Washington.
