Add planetariums to McCain's growing list of things he wants to cut spending money on. From tonight's debate:He [Senator Obama] voted for nearly $1 billion in pork barrel earmark projects including, by the way, $3 million for an overhead projector at a planetarium in Chicago, Illinois.
What's wrong with planetariums, Senator? They give us an opportunity to expand our knowledge of the universe around us, give kids a chance to have a day out of school at the science museum, and have also provided the backdrop for one of best knife fight scenes in movie history:You would thing someone who calls himself a "maverick" would be down with James Dean. Apparently not.
***UPDATE*** Here's the inside scoop on the projector situation from the Chicago Tribune's The Swamp.

The only problem with McCain's contention is that the earmark was never funded. Obama requested it, but it never got any money.
