Here is the best one:
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/b...
Rep. Doc Hastings, R-WA, has advised GOP members of the committee not to participate in this junket masquerading as official business.
Maybe the Democrats are going to Honolulu to search for all those jobs President Obama promised would be created by the $787 billion economic stimulus package, but which haven't yet materialized anywhere else.
I wonder if there will be ample amounts of alcohol, with scantliy clad women, dancing the hula?

"study the cure for low approval ratings of members of Congress"
Really? For 2 cents I'll tell you! You no good #%$.
They're going to Honolulu to pay respects at the graves of Stanley Ann and Madelyn Dunham for getting the right mixture of sperm from Malcom X and Frank Marshall Davis that resulted in the laboratory birth of the "messiah". Thats why we have no records of any kind on Obongo, including his birth certificate.
Interesting analogy.
FBI busts ACORN, I think:
WASHINGTON – The FBI announced Monday that it had rescued 52 children involved in underage prostitution over the past three days and arrested nearly 700 people including 60 pimps.
It might be an analogy, but closer to the truth than anyone thinks or suspects. Wait till January for the final analysis.
Are those "40 decorative street lights" in Indiana incandescent?
"National Science Foundation researchers study the cure for low approval ratings of members of Congress"
We need a study for this?
"Indiana city spending $625,000 in federal transportation funds to place 40 decorative street lights"
Personally I think it is up the the local government to replace this type of stuff, not the Federal government. BTW, the link now points to a story about the "Fire department eyes dealing with absences from flu". Gotta love small town newspapers and how they keep "green" by recycling the same electronic web page day after day.
The American public is so mentally quagmired and revulsed by this Congress that they may be losing sight of what this country of tradition, freedoms and values is all about. We are the greatest nation for myraids of reasons not the least of which is its heritage of strong principles, hard work and accomplishment. We have freed countless millions of people from the ravages of socialist dictatorships and despots. We have asked nothing in return except land to bury our brave soldiers. We have fed the populations around the world. Our medical technologies have saved millions…. all in the name of emulating freedoms to the rest of the world.
And who currently is our biggest enemy and threat ? Who has supplanted their evilness into our system of greatness? LIBERAL POLICIES ! From the Great Society to the present person leading this country into an economic rathole and beyond. Vote these insane and incompetent America hating scums out in 2010.
Speaking of Pork. Look what they did with the swine flu vaccines:

Obamas economics are pathetic, he obviously dosent understand the free market, this proves he has a low IQ. What are the ultimate goals of his handlers? My guess is they want to drain the treasury, theyre just like most criminals, short sighted morons, and they can justify it with their weak logic that everythings unfair and theyre just getting their fair share. The losers of America have taken over the govt. Whats the one defining characteristic of a loser? lying
Would love to know more about this pork? Obama free cell phones with free minutes for welfare recipients…

My ipod touch 1G is a main iPod, Personal digital assistant and way more, and even has happen to be from the time I got it. It still operate the recent iPod system software, and any app I need it to run. I’m working with it to post this comment at the moment. Iwould say it really is a lot more in comparison with basically an “excellent hobbyist system” — it is an remarkable iPod
