I missed out on most of the fun!
The way I understand it, there's an SB that would create an internet-searchable database that would disclose all sponsors of all earmarks. Further, a senator anonymously put a "hold" on it so it would not be on the agenda. Blogs, bless their hearts (you won't often hear me say that!), came to the rescue and are encouraging their readers to call Senatorial offices to ask them if that senator is the secret kill joy. Less than 10 left that have not denied it.
Apparently this has been going on all day. Kinda like a horse race.
