I heard that the OMB created one, but it's a piece of shit that doesn't tell who asked for it as well as not covering any more years than the last. Does anyone know where I could find any records on this?

3. There's a group called Sunlight Foundation.
I think that is the name. Sunlight something. I can't seem to find the website. They had a map with earmarks by state and who was pushing them. I have a link somewhere.

7. A very good but RW site -- cagw.org
From what I've seen they are an equal opportunity slammer and I've never seen them list critical social spending under "pork".
