But that’s not the most important aspect of this post. This is: Only [...]

March 10th, 2009 · 2 Comments

Simple to understand, it couples the word used to describe wasteful federal government spending (i.e., “earmarks”) with the last name of a person who will forever be associated with socialism (i.e., “Marx”): EARMARKS + SOCIALISM = EARMARX [...]
