My congressional sources have been hard at work this week to spot pork-barrel projects in the news. Earlier in the week I told you about Rep. Jim Oberstar’s (D.-Minn.) obsession with bicycle paths and a slew of other transportation-related pork. Today I have a few more items to add to the menu.

• Tens of millions in earmarks for the Museum of Moving Image, the Museum of Glass and Other Museums
• $1 million earmark for a sidewalk in Maine
• More than $2 million for a bus depot in California for an area that already had a bus depot and city officials did not see as an immediate priority
• Federal earmark of unspecified amount to rebuild a courthouse in West Virginia where the governor says he is unwilling to set a precedent by using state money to construct county buildings
• $1 million for downtown streetscapes in Pittsfield, Mass; $150,000 for repairs to the William Cullen Bryant homestead in Cummington, Mass.; $275,000 to renovate the Berkshire Music Hall in Massachusetts

It’s only appropriate that I share these pork-barrel projects along with the Club for Growth’s brand-new RePork Card, which rates all members’ votes on 50 anti-pork amendments. There are some interesting stats to go along with it. For instance, just 16 congressmen (all Republicans) voted for all 50 anti-pork amendments. And in terms of party breakdown, the average Republican score was 43%, while the average Democrat score was 2%. And I thought Democrats hated earmarks?!?
