No offense, but who in her right mind would name a daughter "Clementine"? Isn't that a little old-fashioned?

I didn't realize that McCain was responsible for "earmark" as applied to spending bills (assuming that's what the gist of the question was). I suppose that Kara didn't know of this usage. Had I been in her place, I'd have gone with lifelines, starting with PAF.
