This story I found over at the Agonist is very interesting, as it involves the Congressman from my home district.

Apparently, the Pentagon has tried to lay the smackdown on Kurt Weldon (R-PA), who merly wants to offer recommendations on nuclear policy.

Weldon also represents Delaware County, PA, which is a suburban county just west of Philadelphia. It also is home to the Boeing Plant in Ridley, which makes parts of the Osprey, a VTOL helicopter (that largely doesn't work...but that's my belief). Weldon's support of this plant has been instrumental over the years.

It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.
