Hatch memorial highway
The Onion quoted a watchdog group, Citizens Against Government Waste, to release a send-up list of egregious pork-barrel "earmark" spending. The so-called "Pig Book," includes Utah's Sen. Orrin Hatch:

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), $10 million to build a one-mile, 20-lane highway outside of Salt Lake City

It's not so funny when you recall how similar it sounds to earlier plans for the Legacy Highway that opens soon outside SLC.

They did not "create" a group. They faked the report.

And you were doing so well, Glen. Don't slip back into bad habits; Be the reporter you were meant to be.
