phone marks replace earmarks!

SLOP from Washington--"bureaucratic slight of hand--backdoor pork barreling"--even Harry Reid is doing it!

They're replacing earmarks with phone marks--$$requests which don't have to be written down as earmarks did! So much for a cleaner, transparent Congress.

(This I overheard on PBS's MarketPlace just now--had to post it until I can find out more. They never learn on the Hill, do they? No, because they're all grunting at the same pig trough.)
