Hollywood Elite and Others Impacted by Madoff Scheme





Steven Spielberg's Wunderkinder Foundation was hit, and DreamWorks' Jeffrey Katzenberg has lost "millions,". Hollywood actor Kevin Bacon and his wife are reported victims as well. Reports that the Bacon's lost everything except their bank accounts and land is false. Still in all, losing millions of dollars is sobering and a huge reality check.

OBAMA/BIDEN TO ARRIVE AT INAUGURATION VIA RAILROAD


Monday, December 15, 2008
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the 2009 Presidential Inaugural Committee announced that the President-elect, Vice President-elect and their families will travel - via railroad—to Washington, D.C. on Saturday, January 17th and host events along the way in Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore. The trip marks the final leg of a journey that began on the steps of the Old State Capitol in Illinois and will culminate on the steps of the United States Capitol.

“As part of the most open and accessible Inauguration in history, we hope to include as many Americans as possible who wish to participate, but can’t be in Washington,“ said Emmett S. Beliveau, Executive Director of the 2009 Presidential Inaugural Committee. “These events will allow us to do that while honoring the rich history and tradition of previous inaugural journeys.“

Governor of Illnois Goes On A Politicin Crime Spree!

Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested on corruption charges. Blagojevich was trying to sell or trade the U.S. Senate seat left by President-elect Barack Obama. The corrupt Illinois governor also tried his hand in extortion, threatening to withhold state assistance to the Tribune Company in the sale of Wrigley Field unless they fired Chicago Tribune editorial board members who were critical of him. Rod Blagojevich's schemes were revealed when federal investigators bugged the governor's campaign offices and wiretapped his home phone. Rod Blagojevich was previously already the target of negative publicity and corruption charges. The Illinois governor is also accused of hiring fraud and of taking kickbacks from companies that do business with the state.

Rod Blagojevich learned nothing from his governor predecessor George Ryan, who was convicted of corruption charges that ended his career. Incredulously, Blago considered taking the Senate seat for himself to pad his resume for a 2016 presidential run. Too bad he has an approval rating that makes George Bush look like George Washington: a pathetic 4%.
