Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has abruptly walked away from her responsibilities with the Senate Military Construction Appropriations Subcommittee after a report linked her votes to the financial well-being of her husband’s companies, which received billions of dollars worth of military construction contracts she approved.
The above paragraph is taken from an article on worldnetdaily.com, the whole article can be see here.
This is truly unbelievable, Sen. Diann Feinstein is damn lucky she is a good liberal and not a Republican. Have you seen anything about this on the mainstream media? I haven’t, I’ll keep waiting though, I don’t want to miss it. She had a conflict of interest for six years funneling billions of dollars to her husband’s defense company and there is no mention of this on the news?
All this time I thought Democrats were always weak on defense, now at least I can see a time when they are hawks. When the money is flowing to them.
The Democrats have some nerve coining the phrase culture of corruption without first making sure their own house was clean. And shame on the voters who believed the only corruption in Washington was on the Republican side. And shame on the media for sweeping this under the rug.
The house Democrats are preparing the biggest tax increase in United States history. Before this one president Clinton held the honor as highest taxer. This doesn’t come as a suprise, this is who the Democrats are. Their history shows us exactly what they did, and tells us what they will do.
Somehow they manage to convince people that they will only make the wealthy pay their fair share. This feel good, socialist,Robin Hood agenda may seem like a good idea to many of people, but do you know who the Democrats believe is wealthy? People with a job, that’s who. They need to tax us working class people so they can fund their social programs to keep the people unwilling to work (because they don’t have to) on the government payroll. This ensures that they will keep voting for them. They have a permanent underclass of people, victims, who life hasn’t treated fairly, and only they feel their pain and can help them.
So, as you’re driving to work today, congratulations, you’re wealthy.

Congress Is Going To Try To Limit Presidential Pardons
Next up for the Democrats in congress is a house judicial hearing on presidential pardons. All to stop the president from pardoning Scooter Libby. No crime was committed in the Valerie Plame non-outing, so they trapped Libby with a process crime.
Now the Democrats are trying to determine when it’s okay for a president to pardon someone. If I’m not mistaken president Bush has issued very few pardons compaired to other presidents. President Clinton issued many pardons just before he left office without anything being said about it.
The problem here is, at least in the Democrats eyes, that the whole Bush presidency need to be deligitimized. They need Scooter Libby to go to jail, they have somehow made his conviction a referendum on the Iraq war when his conviction had nothing to do with the war. So they are now going to try and tell the president when and whom he is allowed to pardon.

Congress’ Iraq War Funding Bill Is Unconstitutional
As commander in chief, the president has the only constitutional authority to manage a war. The congress has no right to micro manage a war. They cannot set timetables, direct war policies, or strategies. They can defund the war, that is all. They don’t have the guts to put their money where their campaign promises are. The Iraq war emergency funding bill as passed is unconstitutional, this needs to be fought all the way to the supreme court. I know the president will veto this bill and the votes aren’t there for an over ride, but something needs to be done to stop this congress from overstepping their boundries. Read more here.
Republican Warns Against Biggest Tax Hike in History
Hold onto your wallet, Democrats are about to do what they do best.
Below is an exerpt for a feature called News Of The Hour from cnsnews.com:

(CNSNews.com) – House Republican Whip Roy Blunt is warning that Democrats are planning the biggest tax hike in U.S. history by raising taxes on millions who save for and invest in their future. But the GOP will not let the legislation pass without a fight. “The ‘investor class’ used to be the province of the privileged elite. But these days, nearly 100 million Americans – representing a broad cross-section of class and background – plan for their future by saving and investing. And many millions more benefit from the innumerable jobs and opportunities that a capital marketplace creates,” said the Missouri congressman. “Whether you invest in a stock, participate in a mutual fund, or even own a home – the Democrats’ tax-and-spend budget was written with a greedy eye on your assets. And if you’re a retired senior that relies on dividends to supplement a fixed income, it’s a good bet you’ll be sending thousands more to Washington each year as well,” Blunt added.
My Contribution To Global Warming
Well, spring is here and in New Hampshire the weather is warming up from the cold of winter. Now with the weather getting warm I started thinking. It can’t be that the only reason it’s getting warmer is because of the change of seasons. Can it?
I remember now when I think back on the winter I would start my truck and let it warm up for 15 minutes before I actually went to work. My wife did the same with her car. Once I got to work I would start the company van and let it warm up for 15 minutes before heading to the job site.
All that exhaust going into the atmosphere while the vehicles just sitting there. What was I thinking?
I also remember heating my house during the cold of winter. BIG OIL. How could I be so brazen to heat my house in the winter. Now that spring is here and the weather is warming I feel partly responsible.
I have decided that I will not warm my truck up now that it’s warming up outside. I am also going to stop heating my house now that the climate is changing.
Hopefully It won’t get too warm with summer on the way.
If I curb these behaviors now hopefully the heat of summer will start to cool down in time for winter.
That is, if my lawnmower and barbeque grill don’t screw that up also.

Well, this story is getting more and more suspicious, the stories are starting to change.
Now Jim Webb says he didn’t give his loaded handgun to an aide. He says the aide just mistakenly took his gun out of his car, and brought it into the senate building. RRRIIIIGGGHHT.

Peter Paul, a California business man is suing Bill and Hillary Clinton for an alleged campaign finance law violation. The Clinton’s lawyers are trying to get this thrown out of court so Hillary won’t have to testify under oath. I don’t know whether this man has a legitimate gripe here or not, he does have a shaky past. You can read about it here.
