What goes around ...
Monday, July 30th, agents from the FBI and IRS raided the home of the Honorable Senator from Alaska Ted "the Internet is a series of tubes" Stevens.
Seems the feds have questions about the renovation project on Stevens' home that was overseen by a gent by the name of Bill Allen who was recently convicted of bribing Alaska state officials. Allen is the founder of VECO Corp, an oil field services company.
Wow, talk about a terrible coincidence: being the Senator of a State where people are trying to get drilling rights in a wildlife refuge, and having a friend who also happens to own a oil services company overlook a huge renovation on your home. What are the odds????
I'm assuming the appearance of a conflict of interest is just my own personal prejudice.
If anyone knows of a viable candidate planning to Challenge Mr. Stevens please let me know so I can make a campaign donation.
