2. Now it's a $3M OVERHEAD projector!
I'm sure that it's a new projector for the planetarium, for the shows that are presented. McCain just called it an overhead projector.

BY ANDREW HERRMANN Staff reporter/aherrmann@suntimes.com

The president of the Adler Planetarium lifted a black cloth off a familiar schoolroom device Wednesday and declared, “That’s an overhead projector.’’

The overhead, “you can probably get for $10 or so on eBay,’’ said Knappenberger.

But to replace the Adler’s sky machine, which creates stars on a domed ceiling, would cost $3 million to $5 million.

Knappenberger felt obligated to distinguish the two after Sen. John McCain, during Tuesday night’s presidential candidate debate, criticized Obama for trying to win federal support for a new star device, calling it a “$3 million overhead projector” and dismissing it as a “pork barrel earmark.’’
