After reading this story I have to say that I am a little less enamored by Palin. Ganted no politician is perfect, but I don’t like how she handled the issue of Todd being a member of the Alaskan Independence Party. Seems like a rookie mistake, but I hope that she matures more politically before attempting a run at the top of the ticket where she will be calling the shots and no one can pull rank on her.

Sara Palin is resigning as Governor of Alaska in several weeks??!!?? Hopefully this is a precursor to her announcing a candidacy for President, and not something else.

According to this story from the Wall Street Journal, Congress’s travel tab since the Democrat’s take over in 2006 has swelled 50%. At least we know now that their unsanctimonious cries about the auto executives flying corporate jets and taking exotic vacations wasn’t hypocritical.

In February, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi led a delegation of Democratic lawmakers to visit U.S. troops in Afghanistan for a day. Before landing in Kabul, the eight lawmakers and their entourage of spouses and aides spent eight days in Italy, spending $57,697 on hotels and meals.

I am more than a little peeved that the vacation that I have always wanted to take myself to Italy was taken by Nancy Pelosi with my money.
