This blog only exists because the left-leaning press won't report stories like this. Do you share similar frustrations with the one-side stories in the mainstream media? Did you notice that Republican Gov. Bill Graves was mentioned above for traveling to athletic events too? sasnak: If the Kansas press reported all the news, I’d be happy to close this blog and do many other things.

That'll be hilarious. Very interesting that the press was able to calculate the cost of the flight to Phoenix for Graves but hasn't done so for Sebelius.

Flying nine people to New Orleans for only (about) $1,000? You could get only three or four commercial airline tickets for that. I would image that these figures are based on a per-hour rate for flying the aircraft, and I would also imagine that these figures don't account for the total fixed cost of owning the aircraft. Great job, KM. It's comforting to know our Highway patrol has expanded its reach into the heavens. The cost figures given in the flight report must be investigated, too.
