The item listed on this site as “Project Soar” is listed in the bill as “$5,000,000 for the SOAR Virtual School District”. This earmark has no connection to the Artificial Intelligence/Cognitive Science effort entitled “The Soar Project”, as suggested by the JH post below.

Another breathless epistle from Christian.
If memory serves last year’s bill sported no less than 2,847 earmarks when it was done. The year before that it was more than 2,500, and well over 2,200 the year before that. In fact, if you followed the trend line since 1996 (270 earmarks, and the last time the number actually declined), you’d have expected this year’s crop to be in the low 3,000’s at least.
Whatever. It’s irrelevant anyway (unless you happen to be one of this year’s 1,776 lucky winners

Please don’t tell me you guys are giving the Politico cred for crying out loud. Read their masthead cast of players and you will see a whole bunch of cast offs thrown out the door when downsizing hit the MSM like an aids epidemic.
Man that concept is so lacking in good judgment if you go back and read the interviews with the initial creators of the Politico by MSM followers when they were only just putting that place together.
All the initial bunch that seeded the place were shall we say off the beaten path and they somehow had to gather up enough fresh blood just out of J school of like minds to be hired cheap to carry the same story line on.
I recommend you pop into a look at that red flag stuck in the middle of your story and do a reality check.

I took a very quick look, and found two that I would question:
Spherical Airship Research and Development-Bishop, Sanford
Geospatial Airship Research Platform-Kaptur,Marcy
These would both appear to support the development of so called “high altitude airships”; a moot effort since smaller UAVs can fill the bill much more readily (UAV technology is available, proven, inexpensive).
proper work should be being done on airships for military transport, and that, ONLY on rigid shelled craft, not the inflated (no pun intended)and hyped “hybrid” airship types that would still use flexible envelopes. Both the “spherical airship” and “geospatial airship” are pure pork in that they are no more than glorified balloons or blimps; both of which are to limited in capability and not worth the monies put into them…at least, not as envisioned for the programs that are listed.
