    F-16s following stolen plane… where, exactly?

    F-16s following stolen plane — chicagotribune.com It was unknown how much fuel was in the plane or how much training the student pilot has acquired, Kucharek said. The Web site cessna.com indicated the Cessna 172 Skyhawk is a four-seater with a range of about 790 miles and top speed of 141 mph.

    Why Melissa Bean Trashed TARP

    April 3, 2009 - By 

    As I suspected when I Twittered about it at the time , she’s a creature of the insurance and banking lobbyists. I am SO DISAPPOINTED in her. She replaced the worse do-nothing doddering Republican Congressman then in the House, and for this? Ugh. I hope some good people gear up to give her a primary challenge.
