PORKBUSTERS UPDATE: You have to love this:

The Americans for Prosperity Foundation’s nationwide “Ending Earmarks Express” bus tour visited Northeast Ohio today and made a stop at the University of Akron, which recently received $500,000 in federal funding for the “Hard Choices Program,” which teaches students how difficult it is to balance the federal budget.

“We have a great deal of respect for the University of Akron, but we find this particular federal earmark extremely ironic,” said Americans for Prosperity Foundation President Tim Phillips. “Considering that more than $47 billion was spent on earmarked projects last year, we have to wonder if one of the ‘hard choices’ that students learn about is whether or not to stop funding pet projects with earmarks.”

Did I mention that they’ll be visiting Trent Lott’s railroad to nowhere in Mississippi?
