North Carolina’s infamous Sparta Teapot Museum gets pride of place in a speech by Rep. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) on the U.S. House floor today (emphasis added):

But, let’s face it: when we approve congressional earmarks for indoor
rainforests in Iowa or teapot museums in North Carolina, we make the
most spendthrift faceless bureaucrat look frugal. Excess by federal
agencies should not excuse congressional excess. If federal agencies
don’t follow procedures requiring competitive bidding or other
processes we have mandated, we should act by cutting funding and/or
mandating improvements, not trying to one-up them with equally suspect
appropriations.
