Technical Difficulties

So much for cutting down on the number of earmarks. This should make for a great Politico/ HOH story tomorrow...

(From the House Appropriations Committee online submission website)

"As a result of the massive influx of requests being submitted today, the Appropriations Committee website is experiencing unavoidable access and processing delays. In order to accommodate Member offices attempting to input data, any request submitted by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, March 24th will be considered as having been submitted “on time” for purposes of consideration by the Committee."

Priceless.
