This may sound like a stupid question, I know that in full. I had to laugh a bit about the word 'Porculus' and have more than a hunch by now what it refers to. But can you kind folks enlighten me a bit more (its history, for instance, and why of all animals the swine has been chosen)?
I know, I know, I could have chosen Google etc. etc.
I simply thought it better to ask it right here.

“Pork” is something idiot legislators at every level bring home to the electorate, so the electorate will continue voting for the idiot legislator.

Before we answer, may we trouble you to tell us a bit more about yourself? We are leery of n00bs around here, and its very odd that a FReeper would not understand the work ‘”Pork”ulus’?
I look forward to continuing this conversation with you.

Porkulus = Pork (from wasteful government spending) + Stimulus
Porkulus is the $1,000,000,000,000 monstrosity now wandering through Congress.

It is what happens to congressmen who eat a ham sandwich from a pig on a diet of Viagra.

The congresscritters used to say that they, "Brought home the bacon" to their districts. Bacon, pork, graft,... all horses of the same color.
