Fact: Ms Pelosi plays by her own rules. "SNOPES" VALIDATES THE BELOW FACTS
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's home district includes San Francisco .
Star-Kist Tuna's head quarters are in San Francisco , Pelosi's home district.
Star-Kist is owned by Del Monte Foods, a major contributor to Pelosi.
Star-Kist is the major employer in American Samoa , employing 75% of the Samoan work force.
Paul Pelosi, Nancy 's husband, owns $17 million dollars of Star-Kist stock.
In January, 2007 when the minimum wage was increased from $5.15 to $7.25, Pelosi had American Samoa exempted from the increase so Del Monte would not have to pay the higher wage. This would make Del Monte products less expensive than their competition's.
Last week when the huge bailout bill was passed, Pelosi added an earmark to the final bill adding $33 million dollars for an 'economic development credit to American Samoa '.
Pelosi has called the Bush Administration "CORRUPT" ? ?
How do you spell "HYPOCRISY" ? ?
I think I'll stop buying Star Kist tuna and Del Monte products, ..maybe others will join me and we can watch the Pelosi stock dwindle.
Shortly after class, an economics student approaches his economics professor and says, "I don't understand this stimulus bill. Can you explain it to me?"
The professor replied, "I don't have any time to explain it at my office, but if you come over to my house on Saturday and help me with my weekend project, I'll be glad to explain it to you." The student agreed.
At the agreed-upon time, the student showed up at the professor's house. The professor stated that the weekend project involved his backyard pool. They both went out back to the pool, and the professor handed the student a bucket. Demonstrating with his own bucket, the professor said, "First, go over to the deep end, and fill your bucket with as much water as you can." The student did as he was instructed.
The professor then continued, "Follow me over to the shallow end, and then dump all the water from your bucket into it." The student was naturally confused, but did as he was told.
The professor then explained they were going to do this many more times, and began walking back to the deep end of the pool.
The confused student asked, "Excuse me, but why are we doing this?"
The professor matter-of-factly stated that he was trying to make the shallow end much deeper.
The student didn't think the economics professor was serious, but figured that he would find out the real story soon enough.
However, after the 6th trip between the shallow end and the deep end, the student began to become worried that his economics professor had gone mad. The student finally replied, "All we're doing is wasting valuable time and effort on unproductive pursuits. Even worse, when this process is all over, everything will be at the same level it was before, so all you'll really have accomplished is the destruction of what could have been truly productive action!"
The professor put down his bucket and replied with a smile, "Congratulations. You now understand the stimulus bill."
As NY's Chuck Shumer said, the people don't care about their money going for pork. And not hearing any backlash from the people, it seems he's right. I hope the people get everything they deserve, and more.
QUOTABLE QUOTES “To imply that one person is homeless, destitute, dirty, drunk, spaced out on drugs, unemployable, and generally miserable because he is "less fortunate" is to imply that a successful person - one with a job, a home and a future - is in that position because he or she was "fortunate." – Neal Boortz

Look like the same old cream of crap to me.
Whoever said you can't fool all the people all the time was right. But fooling most of them will still get the job done.
