It has been a good week for conservatives.

  1. The President's veto of the expansion of the SCHIP program was upheld.
  2. Porkbusters Jon Kyl and Tom Coburn successfully defunded a $1 million dollar earmark for the Bethel Performing Arts Center or the Woodstock Museum in New York. The sponsors of the earmark were Sen(s). Clinton and Schumer whom received $29k from the proposed recipients of the earmark. The $1 mil was transferred it to the Maternal and Child Health block grant program.
  3. Harry Reid eats crow on the Senate floor over the success of the E-Bay auction of his "smear letter" to Rush Limbaugh. Bottom line, The Marine Corps- Law Enforcement Foundation receives just over $4 million dollars in charitable donations.
