WAH! THEY TOOK HER JET AWAY!
The real reason that Queen Nancy is considering retiring, is that they took her Jet away. The FACTS ARE IN!
As a result of a Judicial Watch filing under the Freedom of Information Act, the USAF released documents detailing Former House Speaker Pelosi's use of United States Air Force aircraft between March 2009 and June 2010. The data are published in the Judicial Watch Verdict of December 2010, Volume 16, Issue 12.
Here are the main highlights revealed by the USAF. Keep in mind that all the data below relate to United States Air Force aircraft used by one woman over a sixteen month period.
Here are the main highlights revealed by the USAF. Keep in mind that all the data below relate to United States Air Force aircraft used by one woman over a sixteen month period.
Several of these flights included Ms Pelosi's guests such as grown
children, grandchildren, various in-laws, friends, and hangers-on. Over
95% of the trips were between the west coast and Washington , DC or what
we might call a commute between home and the office. READ it and WEEP!!
Total trips: 85 trips over a 68 week period or 1.25 average trips per week.
Total mileage: 206,264 miles or 2,427 average miles per trip
Total flying time: 428.6 hours or an average of 5 hrs per trip
Cost to the taxpayers: $2,100,744.59 or $27,715.00 per trip or $1,285,162.00 per year
Cost of in flight food and alcohol: $101,429.14 or $1,193.00 per trip or $62,051.00 per year.
On one junket to Baghdad , according to the Air Force report, she had the aircraft bar stocked with the following:
Johnny Walker Red Scotch, Grey Goose Vodka, E&J Brandy, Bailey's Irish Creme, Maker's Mark Whiskey, Courvoisier Cognac, Bacardi Rum, Jim Beam Whiskey, Beefeater Gin, Dewars Scotch, Bombay Sapphire Gin, Jack Daniels Whiskey, Corona Beer and several varieties of wine. This was obviously a very important "gubment bidness" trip.
Evidence generally speaks for itself, and in Ms. Pelosi's case it speaks the language of abuse and (evidently) a serious family drinking problem, for in a single year she and her spawn drank an amount in excess of the net income of the average employed American! When she said, "... If the stimulus doesn't pass, five hundred million people might lose their jobs...", I thought she was unintentionally revealing her ignorance. I'm now more inclined to think she was pickled.
Even though she can no longer abuse the USAF, she can either fly on her broom, or fly Southwest Airlines, where bags fly free.
If you are an AMERICAN citizen it is
YOUR DUTY to PASS THIS ON!!

WHAT TANGLED WEBS WE WEAVE....
When we practice to deceive.
This
is from a former Chicago lawyer now practicing law in Tyler,
TX.
This is legit. I checked it out myself at https://www.iardc.org Stands for Illinois Attorney Registration And Disciplinary Committee. It's the official arm of lawyer discipline in Illinois; and they are very strict and mean as hell. (Talk about irony.) Even I, at the advanced age of almost 65, maintain (at the cost of approximately $600/year) my law license that I worked so hard and long to earn. Big surprise. Former Constitutional Law Lecturer and U.S. President Makes Up Constitutional Quotes During State Of The Union (SOTU) Address. Consider this: 1. President Barack Obama, former editor of the Harvard Law Review, is no longer a "lawyer". He surrendered his license back in 2008 in order to escape charges he lied on his bar application. A "Voluntary Surrender" is not something where you decide "Gee, a license is not really something I need anymore, is it?" and forget to renew your license. No, a "Voluntary Surrender" is something you do when you've been accused of something, and you 'voluntarily surrender" your license five seconds before the state suspends you. 2 Michelle Obama "voluntarily surrendered" her law license in 1993. 3. So, we have the first black President and First Lady - who don't actually have licenses to practice law. Facts. Source: http://jdlong.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/pres-barack-obama-editor-of-the-Harvard-law-review-has-no-law-license/ 4. A senior lecturer is one thing, a fully ranked law professor is another. Barack Obama was NOT a Constitutional Law Professor at the University of Chicago. 5. The University of Chicago released a statement in March 2008 saying Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) "served as a professor" in the law school-but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed in 2008. 6. "He did not hold the title of Professor of Law," said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law. Source: http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/03/sweet_obama_did_hold_the_title.html ; 7. The former Constitutional Senior Lecturer (Obama) cited the U.S. Constitution the other night during hisState of the Union Address. Unfortunately, the quote he cited was from the Declaration of Independence ... not the Constitution. 8. The B-Cast posted the video: http://www.breitbart.tv/did-obama-confuse-the-constitution-with-the-declaration-of-independence/ 9. Free Republic: In the State of the Union Address, President Obama said: "We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal. 10. Um, wrong citing, wrong founding document there Champ, I mean Mr. President. By the way, the promises are not a notion, our founders named them unalienable rights. The document is our Declaration of Independence and it reads: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. 11. And this is the same guy who lectured the Supreme Court moments later in the same speech? When you are a phony it's hard to keep facts straight. Keep this moving - educate others.
He is not a lawyer, just a
liar.

A REAL GASSER OF A STORY BY VALERO
For those of you unfamiliar with Valero, it is
an independent oil company based in San
Antonio , TX . It owns 2 refineries, but no
oil fields - it buys all the oil it refines and processes via contract or
on the open market.
Its origin was as a public utility providing natural gas to the city of San Antonio , but it has grown to be a significant gasoline retailer in a good portion of the southeast and southwest, as well as a purveyor of natural gas.
It is a significant economic force in Texas , even in light of the other majors (Shell, Exxon Mobil, etc.) based in the state. This memo to employees provides realistic insight into the economic importance of the proposed XL pipeline.
Date: January 24, 2012
To: Valero Employees
From: Bill Klesse
Subject: Keystone XL Pipeline Statement
As you know, the Obama administration decided last week to deny TransCanada's application to ship crude oil via the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to the Gulf Coast . Valero has planned to be a shipper and purchaser of that oil since 2008, and obviously we were disappointed in the decision. We issued a statement in response to questions from the media, and I wanted to share it with you in case you get questions from friends or business partners, and so that you would know why Valero supports the Keystone XL pipeline. This is the statement:
Despite the uncertainty and political fighting over the Keystone XL pipeline, Valero has continued to invest in its U.S. refining operation. In 2011 we spent nearly $3 billion on projects, and for 2012 our capital expenditure budget is over $3 billion. These expenditures are keeping our employees on the job and putting additional people to work. To reference two of our refineries, at Port Arthur , Texas , we have 1,600 contractors working on an expansion project, and at St. Charles Parish, Louisiana , we have another 1,000 contractors working on a separate project. We need this kind of economic activity to accelerate to help all Americans.
This illustrates why President Obama's rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline is so absurd. There are pipelines in every neighborhood all across America .
The administration's decision was not about pipelines, it was about the misguided beliefs that Canadian oil sands development should be stopped and that fossil fuel prices should increase to make alternative energy more attractive. Instead, we should be impressed with how well the oil sands engineering and recovery technology has advanced, and the economic benefits this development brings. Having more oil available in the marketplace has the potential to lower prices for consumers. As an independent refiner, Valero buys all of the oil we process. Due to the administrations misguided policies, refiners like Valero will have to buy more oil from other sources outside the U.S. and Canada . Consumers will bear the additional shipping cost, not to mention the additional greenhouse gas emissions and political risks.
With all the issues facing our country, it is absolutely unbelievable our federal government says no to a company like TransCanada that is willing to spend over $7 billion and put Americans to work on a pipeline. The administration's decision throws dirt into the face of our closest ally and largest trading partner.
The point above is that it is not about pipelines as many pipelines cross the Ogallala Aquifer, in the Great Plains region, and, in fact, there is already significant oil and gas production in the area covered by the aquifer. This is politics at its worst.
Thank you for your support.

NEVER TRUST A BIKER?
A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington , DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage.
Suddenly,
the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her
inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.
Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.
A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'
The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.'
The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page. So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?'
The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican.'
The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys the paper to see news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:
U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH
That pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days.

WHY WE NEED GUN CONTROL?
Gunshot to the Head
Linda
Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws and
while there, went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries.
Later, her husband noticed her
sitting in her car in the driveway with the windows rolled up and with
her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head.
He became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's
eyes were now open and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was
okay, and Linda replied that
she had been shot in the back of the head and had been holding her
brains in for over an hour. The husband called the paramedics, who broke
into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove
her hands from her head.
When
they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on
the back of her head. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the
heat, making a loud noise that
sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her
head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough
and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly
recovered.
Linda
is a blonde, a Democrat, and an Obama supporter, but that could all be a
coincidence. The defective biscuit canister was analyzed and the
expiration date was from 2008, so
it was determined to be Bush's fault.--

WHAT JUSTICE? THIS IS UGLY
A
combination of media bias and no sensationalism.
As it happens
everyday!
A week ago, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a
black kid named Tyrone Woodfork severely beat an elderly couple, a Mr. &
Mrs. Strait, who had been married for 65 years. Tyrone RAPED Mrs. Strait, and
she died of injuries received at his hands. Mr. Strait served in the
101st Airborne during WWII. NO national media carried the story. Tyrone was
arrested yesterday.
I supposed that if Mr. Strait had shot Tyrone, the whole country would know about the story. As it is, only Mrs. Strait died, so it's not of interest to Brian Williams and the rest of the main stream media media.
Think about it. After 65 years of marriage. After serving our country. After 90 years of life, Mr. Strait has lost his wife to a rapist/murderer. NO ONE in the national media gives a flip. They're interested in their wonderful hero, Trayvon Martin.
Man charged with murder in deadly home
invasion
Tyrone Woodfork, arrested on murder
complaint for beating death of 85-year-old Nancy Strait. Her husband, Bob
Strait, 90, was also severely beaten. COURTESY

A man accused of assaulting an elderly couple this month was formally charged Monday.
Tyrone Woodfork, 20, was charged in
Tulsa County District Court with felony first-degree murder, two counts of
robbery with a firearm and first-degree burglary.
Bob and Nancy Strait were assaulted
March 14 in their home in the 3300 block of East Virgin Street. Nancy Strait
died March 15 from injuries related to the assault.
She was also raped. Bob Strait is still
recovering from multiple injuries and has been re-admitted to a hospital.
Woodfork was arrested March 15 after
witnesses reported seeing the couple’s stolen 2001 Dodge Neon in the 3500
block of East Fourth Street.
He remains in the Tulsa Jail without
bond.
(By the way, If Obama had a son, would
he look like Tyrone Woodfork? Just asking....)

WAS HE SANTORUM'S POTENTIAL RUNNING MATE
In a bold move that could dramatically alter the playing field of
the 2012 GOP presidential race, Rick Santorum today named Jesus Christ as his
vice presidential running mate.
�
Santorum has made an increasing number of comments about his
relationship with Jesus in recent speeches, but few Republican insiders
expected him to announce that he was anointing Christ as his vice presidential
pick.
�
"This could be huge for Santorum," said Stenson
Partridge, a veteran GOP consultant. "Among Republican voters, Jesus
Christ is even more popular than Ronald Reagan."
�
The Rev. Pat Robertson said he was "blindsided" by the
news of Santorum's decision: "I talked to Jesus last night, and he didn't
mention anything about it."
�
At a raucous Santorum rally in Davenport, Iowa, today, supporters
of the former Pennsylvania Senator could be seen holding signs reading
"SANTORUM/CHRIST '12."
�
It is "highly unorthodox" for a presidential candidate
to select a vice presidential running mate who is a prominent figure in the
Holy Bible, says Davis Logsdon, dean of the School of Divinity at the
University of Minnesota.
�
But according to Logsdon, if the Santorum-Christ ticket makes it
all the way to the White House, it could be historic in more ways than one:
�
"If Santorum is elected and something happens to him while in
office, we would
be looking at our first Jewish president."

THE INTERNET BEGINS
In ancient
Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto
himself a young wife by the name of Dot.
And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she was often called Amazon Dot Com.And she said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why dost thou travel so far from town to town with thy goods when thou canst trade without ever leaving thy tent?" And Abraham did look at her - as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load - but simply said, "How, dear?"
And Dot replied, "I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale, and they will reply telling you who hath the best price. The sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)."
Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. The drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever having to move from his tent.
To prevent neighboring countries from overhearing what the drums were saying, Dot devised a system that only she and the drummers knew. It was called Must Send Drum Over Sound (MSDOS), and she also developed a language to transmit ideas and pictures: Hebrew To The People (HTTP). But this success did arouse envy.
A man named Maccabia did secrete himself inside Abraham's drum and began to siphon off some of Abraham's business. But he was soon discovered, arrested and prosecuted for insider trading.
And the young men did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly take to camel dung.
They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Sybarites, or NERDS.
And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches

Lo, Dot did say, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others!"
