CHANGE YOU CAN CASH IN ON!:

Obama, Biden's Son Linked by Earmarks (James V. Grimaldi and Kimberly Kindy, 8/27/08, Washington Post)

Sen. Barack Obama sought more than $3.4 million in congressional earmarks for clients of the lobbyist son of his Democratic running mate, Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, records show. Obama succeeded in getting $192,000 for one of the clients, St. Xavier University in suburban Chicago.

So we face a tough call as to which part of the story is more revealing: that the Unicorn Rider is just another Cook County hack or that he's such an insignificant legislator that he could only secure a paltry $192k?
