"NO ONE JET POOLED"
Remember this the next time Democrats tell you global warming is a crucial issue requiring urgent action:
A flock of small jets took flight from Washington Thursday, each carrying a Democratic presidential candidate to South Carolina for the first debate of the political season.
For Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama, Chris Dodd and Joe Biden, it was wheels up shortly after they voted in favor of legislation requiring that U.S. troops begin returning home from Iraq in the fall.
No one jet pooled, no one took commercial flights to save money, fuel or emissions.
Frauds. (Via Charles G.) In other speedy travel news, Georgian motorists have some late-night windows of opportunity:
Between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., there are no state troopers patrolling Interstate 85 near Newnan. Nor are any troopers patrolling highways in the rest of Coweta County or in Fayette and Heard counties.
That’s also true in Greene, Jasper, Putnam, Cherokee, Pickens, Clarke and 86 other counties.
And around 2 a.m., all of Georgia’s troopers call it a night, leaving only radio operators in 21 out of 49 posts statewide.
