   Of course, what makes this worse is that Pelosi and her ilk hate the military. They want to use them as serf/slave labor – while doing what they can to obstruct the votes of the military members.

   The arrogance of power/power does indeed corrupt. “The booze and wine flowed freely” at taxpayer expense is an obscenity that should never be allowed to happen.

   Our Public Servants all too often confuse themselves with Czar, Emperor and King. Queen Nancy needs her office moved to somewhere near Manassas and given a bus pass.

   She should be in jail for submitting fraudulent eligibility documents for The Won. Hawaii would not certify that he was eligible, so Pelosi did. Hawaii changed their nominating certification and dropped the language that had been used for previous forms that stated candidates were Constitutionally qualified. Pelosi used a different form for Hawaii that did include the language asserting Constitutional qualification, but left it off those going to the other 56 states.

    he documents, uncovered by political corruption watchdog Judicial Watch, reveal that the US taxpayer was billed for $101,429 (£64,000) in Mrs Pelosi’s in-flight services over a period of two years.

    It’s all about raising the minimum level of what is considered acceptable.

    When Pelosi’s enablers comply with her request and create a new lavish standard of extras, they set up their own future perks. Everyone uses each other as their reference group and each benefits from belonging to the privelaged class.

    It is very similar to executive compensation boards, made up of other executives in a peer group, who reward each other with rich compensation packages. After they sit on a board that decides to give a multi-million dollar package to executive ‘x’, they then use this compensation package as the new norm with which to argue for their own golden parachute.

    And let’s not forget that Madame Pelosi is STILL using taxpayer money to pay the $18,736 per month rent on her San Francisco office.

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has more than quadrupled the rent on her San Francisco district office, making the $18,736-a-month cost of her new South of Market space the highest in the House, according to a new report.

    The rent – part of Pelosi’s budget, which is funded by taxpayers – is nearly double the next-highest rent in the House: Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., pays $10,600 a month for his Manhattan office, while representatives from Sacramento, Boston and Los Angeles pay nearly that much, the report said.

    Or a week at Travis trying to get back to Guam after burying Grandma. At one point we were finally picked to fly, and then someone noticed that by the time I got to Guam I’d be two hours AWOL.

    Still, guys and gals, traveling Space A was a great way to meet all kinds of other military people and their families. Took me 3 days to get out of McGuire in NJ, but spent a lot of that time with a great Army lady and her civilian spouse who was a little overwhelmed by all of the stuff that goes on in a MAC Terminal. He got an education about what service people have to endure, even when they are traveling on official orders. Fond memories of great places like Mildenhall, UK.

    Let her keep the USAF plane. I recommend a C-130, C-119, or C-124.
    C-54

    Hah! If it was still in the inventory, I’d recommend a JN-4 Jenny. Then she could have all the free booze she wanted or as much as the pilot would allow for take-off.

    No more non-stop flights for her, unless she used a broom.

    HI 123UPNORTH–#11. Step away from the bong! Or Mescal, Pulque, or Sotol, Tequila, or Peyote. Too much cactus juice stuff can cloud your mind, vision, or thinking.

    I know it gets cold and lonely in 15 feet of snow during all winter alone in a small Canadian cabin. Even the bears must start looking pretty good.

    But just imagine SanFranNan warming up her broom for another environmentally friendly flight from The City to D.C. If she still looks good in your dream when she reaches the Capitol–see your oculist–STAT!
