Earmark Wrangling

Extreme Mortman claims we need a U.S. Department of Irony.

He's amused by Charles Rangel (D-NY), who was cited on Time's list of "Top Ten Outrageous Earmarks of 2008":
$1.9 million for the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service: It’s been dubbed the “Monument to Me” — a planned $30 million academic center supported by longtime New York Rep. Charles Rangel and named, not so surprisingly, for Rep. Charles Rangel.
Mortman is incorrect.
What do they need this new department for?

The people we elect
already generate irony galore.
