Tchaikofsky Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 U.S. Air Security Agency's $462,000 Party `Excessive' (Update1) Oct. 14 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. agency running airport security spent too much money to throw a party for employees and handed out bonuses that exceeded by a third the government average for awards, an inspector's report found. The Transportation Security Administration spent $462,000 for a Washington party and $1.45 million on bonuses without an appropriate selection process, said Clark Kent Ervin, inspector general for the Department of Homeland Security. Congress created the agency to take over airport security from private screening companies after the Sept. 11 attacks. Costs of the event at the Grand Hyatt last November, on the second anniversary of the agency's creation, included $200,000 for travel, lodging and expenses; $85,000 for an events planning company; and $82,000 for awards such as plaques for 600 honorees, the report said. ``TSA's choices proved to be excessive,'' Ervin said. The agency paid $64 per gallon of coffee, $3.75 per soft drink serving, $1,486 for three balloon arches and $1,850 for seven sheet cakes, the report said. A singer of the national anthem was paid $75 and a ``lifetime achievement'' award was given to an employee retiring from the two-year-old agency. The security administration gave bonuses to 88, or 76 percent, of 116 eligible executives, averaging $16,477, or a third higher than the government average, the report said. Typically, only half of eligible government executives receive bonuses. The security agency used identical language to justify awards for 38 percent of employees. ``The legitimacy of such large awards is called into question by the lack of an appropriate selection process and the reliance on boilerplate justifications,'' Ervin said. The ceremony and bonuses reflected two years of work and ``were fully justified,'' agency spokesman Mark O. Hatfield Jr. said in a statement posted on the agency Web site. The agency will have ``a much smaller and less expensive'' awards program this year, he said. ============= The story above was one of the "teaser" headlines on the 7:00 p.m. (ET) Fox Report tonight. Change In The Weather John Fogerty Aaah! [Chorus:] Change in the weather, change in the weather, Somethin's happenin' here. Change in the weather, change in the weather, People walkin' round in fear. Uh huh, you better duck and run, Get under cover 'cause the change has come. Storm warning, and it looks like rain, Be nothin' left after the hurricance. This here's a jungle, ain't no lie, Look at the people, terror in their eyes. Bad business comin', can't be denied, They're running with the dogs, afraid to die. [Chorus] Uh huh, you best believe it's true, The levee's busted, badness comin' through. Oh no, there ain't no place to hide, Reach out and pluck you, take you for a ride. Sea of frustration, take everything in sight, Won't be no blessing if we make it through the night. Down on your knees, go ahead and pray, But every demon has to have his day. [Chorus] Well! Oh, God! High noon, I can't believe my eyes, Wind is ragin', there's a fire in the sky. Ground shakin', everything comin' loose, Run like a coward but it ain't no use. Edge of the river, it's an ugly scene, People gettin' pushed, people gettin' mean. The change is comin' and it's gettin' late, Ain't no survivin', and there ain't no escape. [Chorus] Oh! [Chorus] Well! Oh, no! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian4 Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Just after i posted that I will buy Leap Puts on Merck in the morning-I note Bernie Schaeffer in his evening letter has written a commentary..."Staying off Drugs"..in which he says the whole sector is about to fall off a cliff..that has been my feeling for awhile these guys have been overcharging and over medicating Americans for years while the drugs themselves cause more and more problems-I luv the warnings at the end of the TV commercials...side effects include club feet, turning blue, becoming a woman or or growing another orifice!

wonmug Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Doug Bereuter will step down from his 1st Congressional District seat effective Sept. 1 after 26 years in the in the House of Representatives. LOCAL VIEW: Going to war in Iraq was a mistake BY REP. DOUG BEREUTER ... http://www.journalstar.com/articles/2004/0...be438621096.txt Was looking for some background info/ voting record on Rep. Bereuter & came across this site? Be as cynical as you like re: their motives, timing- but 1)interesting that there are some on the right willing (now, shades of McNamara, 4 decades later) to mumble some doubts; 2)useful resource Reconsidering Iraq Reflections & Reservations from a Conservative Perspective This site is presented as a resource page for conservatives and Republicans who have reservations about current Iraq war policy. ?Prominent among the myths regarding the war in Iraq is the proposition that the pro-war interventionist position is universally supported by pro-American conservatives, and that opposition to the war is a left-wing position. ... Following are Links to conservatives, Republicans, and/or military leaders willing to publicly express reservations about current foreign policy relating to the war in Iraq: sponsored by Republicans for Humility- editor William Frey, M.D. ...We supported President Bush in the 2000 because of shared values. We continue to support the values he publicly expressed as a candidate. But we cannot support a sincere and determined President whose policies contradict those values, and who adjusts to fundamental foreign policy mistakes by re-doubling his commitment to misguided, flawed policy and a counterproductive extremist ideology that justifies preemptive invasion and occupation with reasons that are less than truthful. ...
