Mike the Mad Biologist : Palin Slashed Funding for Food Banks:

Because nothing says compassionate conservatism like not helping hungry people. While many people have noted the incongruency of Palin's slashing funds for assistance to unwed mothers, her halving of a budget item to help the Fairbanks food bank has gone unnoticed.

The specific item:

Fairbanks Community Food Bank-Computer Upgrade, Utility Assistance, and Refrigeration Improvement

This was cut from $50,000 to $25,000.

It's a goddamn food bank. Asking for help in keeping food refrigerated and for paying the utility bills isn't 'pork.' Good thing the economy's tanking--it's not like they won't need to feed people.
