"Are movies included with this flight"?...

.

Seems that the new Speaker of the House is taking full advantage of her position and has demanded that she have routine access to military aircraft for domestic flights... After 11 September 2001 this also became practice for then Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert to ensure proper security and reliable communications, but seems Speaker Pelosi wants to go a bit further with her privledges... "A former Hastert aide said the congressman did not use military planes for political trips or regularly transport his family".

"The sources, who include those in Congress and in the administration, said the Democrat is seeking regular military flights not only for herself and her staff, but also for relatives and for other members of the California delegation. A knowledgeable source called the request "carte blanche for an aircraft any time."

Yeah but how good can it be on a military flight? Do they at least give you an extra package of peanuts?

"U.S. Air Force travel for VIPs such as members of Congress is first-rate. The planes are staffed with stewards who serve meals and tend an open bar."

She did promise to replace the "Culuture of Corruption" with a "More transparent, ethical" Congress...

Speaker of the House Pelosi must remain constantly in touch with her Constituents in San Fransicko and a with the reliable military transport fleet she will be able to attend the weekly "Progressives against Global Warming" meetings...

State of the "other" union...

"Drain the Whole Swamp"?...

.

“Democratic” Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi made it her motto and desire to “Drain the Swamp of corruption” once her party took control of Congress.

It turns out now that maybe she did not mean her “Little corner of the swamp” and maybe her ambitions did not include her and some of her “Democratic Party” playmates… And this just weeks after it was discovered that a large corporation, that is headquartered in Pelosi's district of San Fransicko, is exempt of the minimum wage increase that the Democrats have promised to their voters.

The USAToday paper has an article about Pelosi and “Democratic” friends have failed to report their non-profit leadership positions in charities as required by law. http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2007-01-28-pelosi_x.htm

It seems the Democratic Speaker of the House has failed to report her leadership position in a charity since 1992, fourteen years running…
“The oldest and most prominent of the three is the Paul and Nancy Pelosi Charitable Foundation. Created in 1992, the non-profit has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars in recent years. The charity reported having about $576,000 on hand at the end of 2005 after donating $316,000 to other charities that year.”

Another interesting factor is that these people in leadership roles are able to direct donations towards people and organizations that may have helped them in their election campaigns. “Democratic” Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana is in a leadership role with a charity where “Nearly all of the foundation's funding came from money left over from Bayh's gubernatorial campaigns. Bayh served two terms as Indiana governor, leaving office in 1997.”

Now what does it say about “Leaders” who state that they will “Drain the Swamp of Corruption” but yet direct leftover campaign contributions to the “Charity’s” of their choice?

What if your donation goes to a charity as a “Thank You” for support received during the election campaign that you do not agree with?

More swamp land to drain?…

Weather-babe with an agenda???

Looks like Heidi over at the Weather Channel has been busy with being a "Star" in the new "Everything's Cool" documentary that "accuses the U.S. government of "criminal neglect" and blames "right-wing think tanks" for helping to "defeat climate-friendly legislation." The film premiered last week at Robert Redford's Sundance Film Festival.

"The political message in the film, which prominently features the Weather Channel's Heidi Cullen, appears to conflict with the network and Miss Cullen's recently stated goal of not taking "a political position on global warming," http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/inpolitics.htm

Just the other day:

"Today there was much coverage of how a well known meteorologist has called for all American Meteorological Society (AMS) certified meteorologist that deny Global Warming is caused by humans, have their credentials revoked…"

After some more checking it was found that Heidi has been busy in the past when she hosted a sneak preview of the Al Gore documentary about Global Warming...

Stated goal of not taking "a political position on global warming," ???
