A Little Funny For Your Day
Last Saturday afternoon, in Washington, D.C., an aide to Nancy Pelosi visited the Bishop of the Catholic cathedral in D.C.
He told the Cardinal that Nancy Pelosi would be attending the next day's Mass, and he asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Pelosi to the congregation and say a few words that would include calling Pelosi a saint.
The Cardinal replied, "No. I don't really like the woman, and there are issues of conflict with the Catholic Church over certain of Pelosi's views."Pelosi's aide then said, "Look, I'll write a check here and now for a donation of $100,000 to your church if you'll just tell the congregation you see Pelosi as a saint."
The Cardinal thought about it and said, "Well, the church can use the money, so I'll work your request into tomorrow's sermon."
As Pelosi's aide promised, Pelosi appeared for the Sunday worship and seated herself prominently at the forward left side of the center aisle.As promised, at the start of his sermon, the Cardinal pointed out that ex-Speaker Pelosi was present.
The Cardinal went on to explain to the congregation, "While Pelosi's presence is probably an honor to some, the woman is not numbered among my personal favorite personages. Some of her most egregious views are contraryto tenets of the Church, and she tends to flip-flop on many other issues.Nancy Pelosi is a petty, self-absorbed hypocrite, a thumb-sucker, and a nit-wit. Nancy Pelosi is also a serial liar, a cheat, and a thief. I must say, Nancy Pelosi is the worst example of a Catholic I have ever personally witnessed. She married for money and is using her wealth to lie to the American people. She also has a reputation for shirking her Congressional obligations both in Washington and in California in order to further her own far left wing agenda. The woman is simply not to be trusted."
The Cardinal concluded, "But, when compared to President Obama, Nancy Pelosi is a saint."

More Pelosi Porkulus Exposed
- 1.9 million for water taxis in Pleasure Beach, CT. Congress approved the money after a fire destroyed the bridge to Pleasure Beach, but the area already is accessible by foot and rowboats.
- 3.8 million for an urban art trail in Rochester, NY.
- 3.1 million for upgrades to a boat owned by the NY State Museum. The boat dates back to 1921 and was originally used in canals.
- 3 million for bicycle racks in Georgetown -- the Washington, DC, neighborhood that is one of the wealthiest areas in the country.
- 1.5 million to improve the streetscape in the six blocks surrounding a downtown Detroit casino.
- 578,000 for fighting homelessness in Union, NY. According to a local news report, the town never asked for the stimulus money and did not even have a program through which to administer the money. The town supervisor said he wasn't aware of a homelessness problem in the town.
- 550,000 for a skateboard park in Pawtucket, RI.
- 500,000 for fish food in Missouri, to help defray the costs for state fish farmers.
- 400,000 for renovations to a vacant building in Jal, NM.
- 380,350 to encourage landowners in West Virginia to grow shiitake mushrooms and ginseng.
- 90,000 for a communal kitchen in Watsonville, CA. The shared kitchen is meant to help food service entrepreneurs.
So that's about 16.5 million of our dollars pissed away on things that are certainly not needed, and in most cases not wanted.
Now, if you think that's bad, just wait until Obamacare is passed ... it will take page after page of single spaced typing to list all the pork that will be contained in the final bill.
Just to be fair, this isn't just a Democrat problem - abuse of pork is truly one of the few things that is bi-partisan in Washington. Rep. Kirk, who is running for the Senate seat vacated by Obama, was guilty of landing more than 30,000,000 for 19 pork projects in his home district, including a planetarium and a religious outreach program.
Slamming Obama, Reid, and Pelosi for the wasteful use of our tax dollars as a basis for the 2010 mid-term elections is fair game. They ought to be called out for what they are doing. But ... (and it hurts me to say this) ... Republicans doing the call outs really shouldn't be the ones who are just as guilty.

Thanks to Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK), the Senate Minority Leader, for digging this info out and posting it on hie official web site.
Doesn't this make you feel good about Obama's Hope and Change?
THIS IS OUR MONEY. The bastards running Congress and sitting in the White House told us this $787 ,000,000,000 was desperately needed to bring our economy back from the brink. Instead, this is the bullshit they wasted it on.
Obama, Pelosi, Reid ... should not only be thrown out of office, but should be thrown in jail for stealing our money and lying to us about it. How can we believe anything these crooks, these idiots tell us? And now we're supposed to trust them with 1/6th of our economy, and to oversee all aspects of our healthcare system. NO!!!!!!!!!!

Why Should We Trust These Criminals?
The report contained the names and details of current (for July) ethics investigations underway in the House. It named over 30 House members, and several staff members. Some of these names had been previously known from other public disclosure, but some were not. At the top of the list - John Murtha (D-PA).
The outcry from House leadership has not been over the large number of members under investigation, but over the fact their secret report became public knowledge.
I am amazed, but not surprised. These career politicians, led by Lunatic in Chief Pelosi, do not want anyone to know who is dirty, especially when most of the names on the list are Democrat.
The American public should be outraged that such information, concerning legal and ethical violation investigations on their elected officials, are being held secret. Don't we deserve to know everyone who is being investigated and for what - not just the few Republicans that Pelosi and her lap dogs 'out' in press conferences?
Hey Mr. Obama - where is that promise of yours to be the most open administration in US history?

Pelosi Comes Out in Favor of Protestors
The only problem is that this was support for folks protesting against President Bush, not President Obama. Once again, the left can't stand to have its own tactics used against it! Hypocrite Bitch!

Pelosi Buys Herself a Taxi
Nancy Pelosi, upset that she occasionally can't get hold of a USAF Gulfstream to jet herself around the country, instructed her minions to insert funding for three of these jets into the House Defense Appropriations Bill. These were not requested by, nor are they wanted by, the Air Force.The military version of the Gulfsream 550, designated C-37A, is just about the highest end business jet that can be bought. Although the military versions aren't decked out with the most oppulent equipment packages, they still cost about $65,000,000 apiece.
C-37s are used to transport VIPs, typically civilian government officials, around the country and the world. It is a favorite with members of Congress and the Administration, because of its luxury and long range. Each flight is catered, and served by a USAF serviceperson acting as stewardess.
The Air Force has 10 C-37s currently. Four are based at Andrews AFB, for use by members of the government. One each are based at Hickam AFB in Hawaii, and Chievres AB in Belgium (for NATO support). Three are based out of MacDill AFB in Florida (for CentCOM support), and one has been noted carrying civilian registration while operating in Southwest Asia. The Navy has 5 C-37s, used for VIP transportation at various locations.
Wording inserted into the bill authorizing funding for these aircraft specifically stipulates that they are to be based at Andrews. This, in essence, makes sure they are not used by anyone other than members of Congress or the Administration.
In addition, funding was inserted for a C-40, the military version of the 737 airliner. Also to be based at Andrews, this $70,000,000 aircraft is popular with Congress for their overseas junkets, because of its luxury and VIP sleeping areas. Congressional porkers love to pack their spouses (or mistresses) into this luxury bus for 'fact finding' junkets at tax payer expense. Again, the USAF did not request or want this aircraft.Pelosi has been known for her tirades when these aircraft aren't avalable for her personal use. So, she has now made sure that her royal ass has one of these birds to cart it back and forth to San Francisco whenever she feels like it. How arrogant ... when Congress and the Administration are cutting critical items out of the defense budget, these assholes blow our tax dollars on this perk for themselves.
I say, let them fly coach like the rest of us poor peasants.....
Update - Pentagon and Senate opposition to this purchase is exploding. Along with Republican members of the House, Senators are lining up to voice their opposition, and it looks like the purchase will be blocked in the Senate.
"The whole thing kind of makes me sick to my stomach. It is evidence that some of the cynicism about Washington is well placed -- that people get out of touch and they spend money like it's Monopoly money." - Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) in an interview Sunday (yes, a DEMOCRAT said this)
"A classic example of Congress being out of touch with the realities of deficit spending." - Sen. John Thune (R-SD)
Update II - VICTORY! American People 1, Pelosi 0. Rulers of the House concended defeat Monday as pressure about this continued to rise, agreeing to remove funding for the additional jets from the Defense bill.
Pelosi Thinks We Are Nazis
This was first shown on Foxnews' "O'Reilly Factor", last night,and is spreading like widlfire across the internet.
This woman is third in line of succession to the office of President. She is speaker of the House of Representatives, a VERY powerful position. She is a key component of Democrat efforts to reform this country in their image. This is what she thinks of anyone who doesn't agree with her.
The Fairness doctrine ... Pelosi thinks anyone who doesn't agree with her is a Nazi ... Obama is gathering information on ordinary citizens that disagree with his policies ... Democrats call Obamacare protestors 'an unruly, violent mob' ... Looks to me like the Democrats are acting a lot like Nazis themselves. This is scary, folks ....
Update - The message has gone out from Obama, Pelosi, and the DNC - equate anyone who disagrees with them to Nazis ... Rep. Brian Baird (D-WA) has cancelled his town hall meetings, and will instead hold a 'phone-in' meeting (which by the way, controls who is allowed to call in and ask questions). Explaining his reasoning, he said "What we're seeing right now is close to Brown Shirt tactics. I mean that very seriously." So, if you disagree with the left, you are a Nazi, according to official Democrat doctrine. How does that make you feel, America? Your government wants to take away your right to disagree with it. Open your mouth in anything but tribute to Obama, and you're in trouble!
Update II - The Dems themselves are trying hard to build this Nazi portrayal of Republicans. A black man was photographed bringing a poster portraying Obama as Hitler into the back door of a town hall meeting, up in Detriot I think it was. The local news showed the poster, and decried the evil Rebpulican mob tactics. Someone researched that photo, and it turns out the black man was an Obama campaign worker.

Pelosi Delivers Porkulus
San Francisco ... home of fruits, nuts, flakes ... and Nancy Pelosi. How else can you explain stimulus money, distributed by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), being channeled to these San Fran based entities: 
Now, don't get me wrong ... I am not advocating censorship, and I am not saying that people who express themselves in an artistic manner don't have a right to do so (whether or not I see any 'art' in their expression). However, they do not have a right to do it with my tax dollars. Let the people who appreciate such artistic expressions support it themselves.....

Congress Having a Party, On Us
Pelosi herself led a delegation of Dems to Afghanistan this past February. They spent less than a day on the ground in Kabul, before flying home. Prior to getting to Kabul, the group made an 8 day rest stop in Italy, where she and her bunch of thieves racked up almost $58,000 in hotel and meal bills - all paid for by the US taxpayers. This doesn't include the cost of the USAF planes and personnel that had to serve as taxis for the trip.
Sen. Daniel Inhouye (D-HI) took half a dozen Senators and their spouses on a junket to the Paris Air Show this year. They flew on a USAF 737 transport plane ($5700 an hour to operate). They stayed at a $460 per room per night hotel in Paris during the trip. They had a dinner party at the US embassy, and a cocktail party at the Eiffel Tower. All of it was paid for by the taxpayer. What exactly this trip was supposed to accomplish is not clear.
The cost of flying a small group of lawmakers overseas (on a G-20 class aircraft) is about $150,000. Larger groups use the USAF version of the 757, which costs $12,000 a hour to operate.
How dare these people tell us that we have to sacrifice to help the country out of the recession. How dare they raise our taxes, just to throw money away in activity like this. Democrat, Republican - I don't care - these thieves ought to be thrown in jail.
Thanks to the Wall Street Journal for shedding light on this.

Like Thieves in the Night ...
Details are starting to come out. Two gems that surfaced today:
Once the bill is passed into law, IMMEDIATELY California building standards will become nationwide standards. Every new home constructed will have to meet CA building codes, especially in regards to energy consumption/efficiency. This will add 20-25% to the cost of every new house built after passage of the bill. Even if individual states do not hold to those codes, the Federal government will have the right to come in and fine any builder and any new owner that does not comply. The same ridicuous environmental rules written by California's eco-Nazis, the rules that have bankrupted that state, will be placed on top of all of us.
Sales of existing homes will be affected by environmental rules as well. Before you can sell an existing home, you will have to have a federally licensed inspector come out and give it an energy 'rating'. This will encompass insulation, age of HVAC units, windows, doors, capacity of water tank - everything that could possibly be classified as effecting the environment will be assessed. Your house will be given a rating based upon what the inspector determines. The rating, along with all the inspection documentation MUST be provided to any potential buyer. So, if you have a house that is older than 2-3 years, you're going to take a major hit on your property's value.
There are 1200 pages of crap like this buried in this bill. The American public won't stand for it. The majority of Congress won't vote for it, Dems included. This is why these slimy bastards hid it from view until it had to be voted on.

House Dems Block Investigation of ACORN

Despite earlier promises made by Democrat leadership of the House (Pelosi, et al), Democrat leadership has now announced there will be no investigation of ACORN. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now has long been tied to voter fraud during local and national elections. Members of ACORN have been caught signing up non-existant voters, signing up illegal voters, paying for votes, and interferring with Republican vote efforts. These are the same folks who tried to sign up the Dallas Cowboys roster for voter registration as residents of Las Vegas.
Dem Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), a radical left winger who is leader of the Congressional Black Caucus, once called for investigation, but has now backtracked and said there will be no investigation, saying that the decision had been made by 'the powers that be', but refusing to identify those powers.
ACORN is pushing hard to be an integral part of the 2010 census. Why does that matter? Information collected during the census determines a lot of very important things, including Congressional district mapping. Fooling around with the data collected would have a direct impact on the makeup of our government, where funds are distributed, etc. ACORN wants to be the data collection point - giving them a perfect opportunity to mess with the data in any way they see fit.
Unbelievable ...

House Dems Block Pelosi/CIA Lie Investigation

Pelosi has had so many different stories about this over the past few weeks, it is hard to tell which lie is her latest. One day, she changed her story three times.
If she is correct and the CIA misled her, she has a duty to hold an investigation to get to the bottom of it - lying to Congress is a serious offense, just ask Pelosi or Reid.
Or, if she wasn't present at the briefings, or she wasn't presented with enough information (both stories from her over the past two weeks), then she is incompetent.
Or, if she is lying, and the CIA is telling the truth, then she has committed an offense that should cost her the speakership, and also should bring impeachment proceedings. Past Speakers of the House have lost their positions for far less than that.
Once again, if the Democrats have nothing to hide, nothing to fear, and want the truth to come out, why do they continue to block all investigations into their behavoir? The answer is pretty obvious ... they want to keep their jobs and positions of power at any cost.
This is going to catch up with them ....
Update - at a press conference this morning (Friday), Pelosi defended her remarks about the CIA lying to her:
"I have made the statement that I'm going to make on this. I don't have any more to say on this. I stand by my comments. And what we are doing is staying on our course and not being distracted from it." - Nancy Pelosi, 5/22/09
In other words, she is telling the mainstream media to drop it and move on so she doesn't have to defend herself anymore.
"Speaker Pelosi stammered and filibustered around the elephant in the room because she knows full well that she has become a political liability to her fellow Democrats in Congress. Her obsession with the previous administration and her disdain for America's intelligence officials has reduced her to cheerleader status within the far left wing of her party and a distraction to the substantive debate over how to best move our economy forward." - Ken Spain, National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman
Well said, Mr. Spain ....

Pelosi Panders to Illegals

In a recent address to a group of mostly Hispanic legal and illegal immigrant workers in a San Francisco church, Nancy Pelosi told them that enforcement of US immigration laws was un-American.
"Who in this country would not want to change a policy of kicking in doors in the middle of the night and sending a parent away from their families?"
"It must be stopped....What value system is that? I think it's un-American. I think it's un-American."
"We have to have a change in policy and practice and again ... I can't say enough, the raids must end. The raids must end.
"You are special people. You're here on a Saturday night to take responsibility for our country's future. That makes you very, very patriotic."
So, according to the 3rd person in line of succession to the office of President it is un_American to enforce our laws. The ICE raids, to which she is referring, which round up illegal workers at businesses and deport them, must be stopped. The midnight raids on homes to round up parents and haul them off to jail (which does not happen, by the way) are terrible and must be stopped.
She believes that illegal immigrants are patriotic, and the future of our country. This is certainly the Democrat outlook on immigration. They believe that the 12-15 million illegals in this country are all Democrats, and guaranteed to vote a straight party ticket, if the Dems can just keep voter fraud legislation from happening. Dems want more illegals from south of our border - the more the better - more guaranteed votes to keep them in power.
The Speaker of the House is openly calling for our immigration laws to be broken. This woman is an embarrassment to our country, and she needs to be kicked out of office as soon as possible.
And oh, by the way ... Does anyone else notice how Democrats love to use churches, particularly minority churches, to deliver their messages? As soon as a Republican does it, however, they start screaming about the violation of separation of church and state .....
