You Say PoTAYto, I say PoTAHto; Congressional Edition

As everyone should know by now, the word "earmark" has become a dirty word to the ears of Teabaggers, among others.

A source has told me that the politicians have come up with a new term: A "Demonstration of Good Policy", or "DGP". A DGP is an individual project that is supposedly an experiment to help determine what new policy ideas work and what does not.

But make no mistake about it, Gentle Reader, a DGP is nothing more than an earmark in new clothing.
