Kudos to N.Z. Bear and the other Porkbusters for their clever initiative to out the Senator who placed a secret hold on Senate Bill S.2590, which would create a database on most recipients of federal funding. Made available through FOIA, that would let bloggers and journalists figure out which companies subsist entirely on the public dole. The remaining suspected senators are all Republicans, though the bill is bipartisan, and includes veteran Porkieire Ted Stevens of Alaska.
