This I Want To Go To...

SAN ANTONIO, November 15 - Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi will join U.S. Reps. Ciro Rodriguez, D-San Antonio, Charles Gonzalez, D-San Antonio, Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, and San Antonio officials Saturday to discuss the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) bill.

The bill aims to cover children who are currently eligible for benefits under the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) but do not receive coverage due to insufficient federal funding. It would provide health insurance to 10 million children, including 966,406 in the state of Texas.

The event, scheduled for 12:30 PM on November 17th, will take place at Milam Park in San Antonio.

She's a Lady. Wououououou... she's a Lady.

This I Want To Hear... Why Is So Much Money Missing?

It's official: embattled State Department Inspector General Howard "Cookie" Krongard will finally testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday.

Krongard, for the uninitiated, is the IG voted most likely to... not investigate waste, fraud and abuse. In September, Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), the oversight committee chairman, accused him of scuttling investigations into corruption in State activities and contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Matters got worse when Krongard's subordinates told Waxman that his aides threatened retaliation against them for going public. Condoleezza Rice promised that Krongard would answer the charges. The FBI got involved. It's a whole to-do.
