Pelosi, Huffington coming for mayors' meeting
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Martin O’Malley, new media magnate Arianna Huffington and U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue will be coming to Baltimore next month for the annual meeting of the the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the Washington-based organization announced Monday.
Hundreds of mayors are expected to attend the meeting from June 17 to 20 at the Hilton Baltimore, which is to focus on jobs and the economy, homeland security, transportation, energy and immigration. The mayors use the annual meeting to debate and vote on policy positions to forward to Congress and the White House.
On the last day of the meeting, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is scheduled to be inaugurated president of the conference for 2011-12. He takes over from Eilzabeth Kautz, mayor of Burnsville, Minn.
The U.S. Conference of Mayors represents the 1,210 U.S. cities with populations of 30,000 or more.

Let's see if I can phrase this in a more, shall we say, "charitable" fashion:
Were no members of the political "right" considered for, or invited to, this event? Did they all decline? Is a "leftist" viewpoint required for membership in this organization, or is it a case--as the Congressional Black caucus claims--that all the members just happen to think along the same lines?

The only jobs BOY KING knows how to create are for his relatives. I'm wondering who got the job of wiping Nancy's mouth of drool when she speaks.

Pelosi / D'Aesandro is coming home to provide the historical perspective of how a mayor can fleece businesses for big payoffs.
Nancy learned at the foot of master. O'Malley. Dixon and Rawlings are amateurs.

Sounds like someone here is ready to carry the mantle for the march back to the Bronze Age.
