This is the annual Citizen's Against Government Waste's "Pig Book", which shows various "pokrkbarrel" projects in the federal budget. Some of this will cause steam to shoot out of your ears.
There's simply too much for me to list here. I suggest you read it....unless, of course, you're a Democrat or a Republican, in which case you'll probably defend it.
You can also search their pork barrel database here:

Like a steely blade in a silken sheath
We don't see what they're made of
They shout about love,
But when push comes to shove
They live for the things they're afraid of

Rush - "The Weapon (Part II of Fear)"
There are those who treat every human
interaction as a military engagement that
could escalate into a potential battle
leading to a nice, satisfying conflict
that's part of a war. There is a name for
such people. They're called assholes.
