The shock-doctrine peddlers are saying the world will end if the bailout isn't passed. So you'd think that Congress would focus a little on fixing the financial crisis.

Instead, the Senate bailout bill includes issues of vital national importance such as :

* Extension of economic development credit to American Samoa (p. 279)

* Rum excise tax to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands (p. 279)

* Motorsports racing track facility (p. 290)

* Wool modifications (p. 295)

* Children and wooden arrows (p. 300)
