WASHINGTON -- Halliburton, the oil and construction conglomerate formerly headed by Vice President Dick Cheney, dramatically reduced what it spent on lobbying Congress and the federal government after the Bush-Cheney administration took office in January 2001.

During the last two years of the Clinton administration, Halliburton reported spending $1.2 million lobbying the Senate, House of Representatives, and various executive branch departments, according to records reviewed by the Globe. In comparison, during the first two years of the Bush administration, Halliburton reported spending just $600,000.

HAL is a "BUY" in my book.

I wonder how much HAL Mr. JFK Heinz and Mrs. Heinz has in their portfolio? I wonder how we could find out?

You can go to Glenn Beck's site and order an "evil conservative" t-shirt. Great fun to wear around liberals.

It says "I love(heart symbol) Halliburton"

I'm not posting a link to his site, because it locks you in, but if you want to see the shirt, it's at www.glennbeck.com

All of the flap about "HAL", but there sure seems like an opportunity to name names in the FOOD-FOR-OIL scam. Now, that is the big leagues and the names will most likely include so many of the whining lefties.

Contrast that with how much Saddam and his lying crooked liberals spent in their lobbying efforts. Hey UN, France, Germany, Russia, Hillry inc.
