catchy upbeat ska.In 1990 they changed their name to The Porkers and released 'Tired of being Pork Hunts' a 3 track 7" EP that reached no.After a few stops and starts they returned in 1994 with a bold new edge to their sound and released the debut album 'Grunt!Not bad, pretty good, not bad' and saw the Porkers tour Germany and New Zealand.Meanwhile the Porkers built up their live reputation sharing stages with The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Rancid, NOFX, Fishbone, No Doubt to name but a few, and appearing on the Australian festival circuit appearing at The Big Day Out, The Falls, Homebake, Livid and the 1998 and 1999 Vans Warped tour which saw them secure themselves a spot on the American leg of Vans Warped in 1999.The Porkers recorded their third album and gathered steam for the next assault on the sences of the unsuspecting citizens of the world!The Porkers are a Newcastle based ska band that have been around for over 15 years in different forms.View this artists Wikipedia EntryView this

After much sturm und drang, the House has a full disclosure policy on earmarks, at least as far as appropriations are concerned.Now the Senate is heading for turmoil on the issue, with even the August recess in doubt.August if leaders do not agree to adopt a Senate rule requiring full earmark disclosure.House implementation of its rule surely has been rocky.Disclosure is required only when a tax provision affects 10 or fewer taxpayers.Anyone who fails to comply with my terms of use may lose his or her posting privilege.Bipartisan Porkers yes, but the majority of those with the best grades are Republicans (for now anyway).Just wait until the pandering for votes begins; the bacon will fly then.Feinstein and Boxer are two of the worst (16.Feinstein and Boxer will not likely ever be voted out.In the top 10 best, 1 is a Dem.In the bottom 10 worst, 1 is a Rep.Did anyone notice the Republican to democrat ratio at the top of the list (the Good ratings)?Its a ridiculous discrepancy.Only 2 out of the top 30 rated senators are Democrat.They better take a look in the mirror.We need to determine how we can get term limits passed, which will be difficult considering this group of morons would have to vote this through.But, we need term limits 2 terms for the Senate and 4 terms for the House of Representatives.How can we get this done within the next 10 years?On July 11th, 2007 at 10:00 am, The Raging Republican said:
