Time has released its annual Top 10 of Everything list.

For outrageous earmarks, two that make the list would make it hard for us to argue against them in Congress.

4. $193 million for Rum

9. $460,752 for hops

Gee, the federal contribution almost reaches our personal annual earmark for rum and beer (aka: the reason we can’t buy a flat-screen TV this Christmas).
