(Democrat) Congressman Launches Inquiry into Cost of Sarah Palin's Tour
ABC News ^ | Tuesday, June 7, 2011 | Sheila Marikar

Posted on 06/07/2011 2:50:58 PM PDT by kristinn

Sarah Palin is set to tour national monuments around the country this summer, and one congressman wants to know how that will affect everyone else.

Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) sent a letter to the National Park Service today asking how federal resources were used for the northeast leg of Palin’s “One Nation Tour,” which traveled from Washington, D.C. to New Hampshire last week. His concern: press accounts of the tour “which provided personal and political benefits to former Gov. Palin, suggest that National Park Service resources were made available to an extent beyond that which an average American family would receive.”

Palin was surrounded by park rangers and, at times, police officers during her tour stops. Last Wednesday, she and her family were accompanied by approximately 10 authorities as they toured the Statue of Liberty.

Nice graphic ;)

I thought at first that might be some Trek, I’ve built a bunch of them but haven’t seen one in that particular color. Could be some hybrid thingy. I tried to enlarge the pic but it goes all pixelated when magnified.

I love bikes, I own 9 of ‘em. But that guy is a whacko, to be sure.

The post of these numbers seem to have had an effect on the kid that answers the 503 number. He is now spouting our talking points with little provocation. I asked him if he wasn’t ashamed to work for such a person and he said “yeah a little bit”.

Crazy b*stard...

The Congressional Livable Communities Task Force, chaired by Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), and consisting of all Democrats, released recommendations which will wean the US off oil, while creating much more livable communities.

“Freedom From Oil: Policy Solutions From the Livable Communities Task Force,” says that our only way to control gas prices in the long run is to reduce our consumption and provide more transportation alternatives. More oil drilling simply will not work because the US only has 2% of the world’s reserves - not enough to affect prices, which are determined by world markets.”””

At the rate this administration & all the nutjobs elected by the enviros are destroying our civilization, I will have an income to my death teaching people how to ride & care for a horse. But, then, of course, the enviros will complain about the horse apples on the roads.

The Feds are hiring lots of EPA and other ‘systainable’ people. Sunstein and Holdren are simply regulating....

Here’s a badly rewritten poem that was about a woman on a motorcycle. Just use your imagination.

“He was coming round the mountain, doing 90 miles an hour,
when the chain on his bicycle broke,

Now he’s lying in the grass with a sprocket up his ass, and his limp wrist hanging from a spoke.”

...livable communities.

Any community where I have to share space with leftist control freaks like these isn't MY idea of a 'livable community'.
