From Novak this morning:

McCain took the floor last Dec. 20, as he has so many times in the past, with an inattentive Senate prepared to pass a $458 billion Defense Appropriations Bill, including funds for the war in Iraq. “During a war, in a measure designed to give our fighting men and women the funds they need,” said McCain, “the Congress has given in to its worst pork-barrel instincts.” These were among the earmarks he pointed out:
…$4.4 million for a technology center at Missouri State University in Springfield, Mo. This was included in $27.1 million earmarked for southwest Missouri in this one bill by Acting House Majority Leader Roy Blunt, who is running for the permanent leadership post.
