@14
Thanks for the link. While I’d certainly like to be able to use private jets (helicopters, yachts, etc) from “friends” methinks that practice is a bit questionable, at best, and transparently horsesh*t at worst (i.e. in reality).

@10, @15, and @16.
If you can come up with some links that don’t include the spammer aka dailybail, I will consider clicking your links, otherwise not going to effin’ happen.

@13 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12616010 It takes investigative reporting to sort this out, but some have done it in the recent past (link above). I have no time to research this further.

Thanks for the link, but that’s also why I used the word “reported.”
I’m curious if you or anyone else knows about how often (if at all) our elected officials are “lent” use of private individual’s/firm’s corporate jets…

Someone sent this to TGFD yesterday. If it has already been around the DB circuit, I apologize for the repetition. TGFD was away for 2 weeks, and this is from May 19th.
If you haven’t seen it, please watch. This 5:24 video is bizarre, to say the least. It’s also on-topic for today’s Opening Bell, I think.

@5
That has been debunked here:

But of course you and anal have the right to focus on non-issues while the real issue is ignored. The real issue is corporate private jet use by congresscritters. Those jets come at a huge discount, with a good meal and a friendly and super smart lobbyist to escort you all the way to your destination airport.

Thats what I’m sayin mang
Also, there should be a “don’t” in there, as in “Somehow I DON’T expect this action to reveal any ruh-rhos or red flags…”

tip of the day to the new smart SEC: Madoff securities is front running its clients. You can focus on that once you are done with Lehman.

@2 She’s not using corporate (private) jets. She’s demanding them from the USAF.
