What Really Happened: Rum, Wooden Arrows, and the Pork Barrel Bailout

The shock-doctrine peddlers are saying the world will end if the bailout isn't passed. So you'd think that Congress would focus a little on fixing the financial crisis.
Instead, the Senate bailout bill includes issues of vital national importance such as :
* Extension of economic development credit to American Samoa (p. 279)
* Rum excise tax to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands (p. 279)
* Motorsports racing track facility (p. 290)
* Wool modifications (p. 295)
* Children and wooden arrows (p. 300)
