When the federal government would actually save millions of dollars by forgoing the status quo and actually sending evacuees on a luxurious six-month cruise it is time to rethink how we are conducting oversight.

I see no evidence of active malice, but I see a continuation of passive indifference on the part of our government toward the least of these,
These are trips not initiated by me; these are trips that other people think will be helpful. For every invitation I've accepted, I've turned down 100.
Andy Warhol said we all get our 15 minutes of fame. I've already had an hour and a half. I mean, I'm so overexposed, I'm making Paris Hilton look like a recluse.
Even if current rules are enforced, there are too many opportunities with lobbyists to influence policy in ways that hurt ordinary citizens.
