Ha, Ha, Ha this is the best satire

Those guys at The Onion get funnier all the time.

Read this one....

Democrats, attempting to defuse the politically nettlesome issue of earmarks, pledged to cut federal spending on the pet projects while making the process for doling out the funds more understandable to the public.

House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey and Senate counterpart Daniel Inouye said in a joint statement today they will cut funding for most types of earmarks in half from 2006 levels. The cuts would be smaller, about 12 percent according to committee earmark estimates, compared with the most recent levels.

That is hilarious. Get it? Democrats will cut earmarks? Make it "understandable"? Oh man, I just spit my diet dew all over the screen.

What? you mean this wasn't from The Onion but Bloomberg News?

Is that a different satire site, like Mad or Cracked?
