Pelosi's Plane, Astronauts' Sex-lives, Russert vs. Scooter - An Ode to the Inane

The "new" Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, wants a bigger jet that can fly her back to California without refueling. Much bigger - seating at least 50 people - and she already has a personal Lear Jet; wow, the first 100 hours are certainly over...

85% of Bush's next budget is War, Welfare and Interest Payments on the debt he's racked-up waging war - Are we done yet?

Really? How much more money does our military need? $2.9 trillion budget released this week, 2,500 pages of text, charts and notes, and all that was necessary was a single page of Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Lockeed, Halliburton and Raytheon logos.
Another $145.2 billion for war, not including another $99.6 billion for, well, war... The Pentagon is getting a 10% raise this year - Are you? Bush is giving those actually fighting the war a 3% raise - Wow, that's compassion.

$300,000,000 per day - That's just one figure - another is 362 TONS of cash shipped to Iraq at the beginning of the war and over $8 billion disappearing just as quick.
What would you do with $8 billion? Perhaps buy a garage to store it - How does that much cash disappear? Republicans are saying that Democratic leaders are nitpicking old issues - BUT REALLY - Where the HELL did over $8 billion go?

Sorry, a tad exasperated this week...

Forget about universal health care, retirement for mom and dad, food for puppies... We're broke, America, busted, bankrupt - financially and morally, after a mere 7 years of George W. Bush.

Tim Russert used crutches to walk all over Scooter Libby, a man who used crutches when his indictment was announced. Strangely, the lies in the run-up to invading Iraq are being heard during a perjury trial. Saddam was hung, Scooter will go to jail, and Cheney will collect a pension.

What can Cheney say without perjuring himself? Even a grunt will indicate guilt...

How much of this year's budget is dedicated (classified, of course) to the Carlyle Group - Bush 41's company?

Exxon-Mobil made nearly $40 BILLION in profits - Halliburton also reported record profits - did you? Prediction: Within the next 6 months, the Iraqi "government" will open its oil fields to private yet noncompetitive contracts...

To that point, how soon until all defense budgets are classified - for our safety, of course...

Have you had enough yet?

The 2 parties running our country can't decide on 2 resolutions in the Senate...

While we laugh at an astronaut in diapers, can't we at least cry for ourselves?

If it helps, we aren't alone - Britain recently closed an investigation into illegal arms sales to the Saudis because the Saudis wanted to buy more weapons...

Nancy Pelosi needs a bigger plane, Bush more money for war, and America, more jails for our politicians. Save those pennies and dimes, we'll soon need every cent.
