Bloomberg.com: Muse: "Aug. 9 (Bloomberg) -- When the Museum of the Moving Image embarked on a $50 million fund-raising campaign to expand its Queens, New York, building last year, it turned to one prospective donor for the first time: the U.S. Congress.
Democratic Representative Carolyn Maloney, whose district includes the museum, responded by tucking a $150,000 grant into broader legislation -- the 2006 federal transportation spending bill. It's a time-honored practice known as ``earmarking.''"
