One of the largest contributors to the Republican Party, the US Chamber of Commerce (also recently charged with fraud and money laundering), has a senior member with an odd bio. John Bachmann is a current member of the Monsanto’s Board of Directors and past Chairman of the US Chamber of Commerce’s Board of Directors and current member of the same BoD. He also sits on the board of AMR, owner of American Airlines, and is a senior partner at Edward Jones. John W. Bachmann Though Bachmann’s other business associations are mentioned, glaringly and obviously absent from his US Chamber of Commerce bio is any mention of his service to Monsanto: http://www.uschamber.com/about/board/john-w-bachmann [Monsanto: phrase not found] In his Monsanto bio however, he’s pretty proud of his service to the US Chamber of Commerce. http://www.monsanto.com/whoweare/Pages/john-bachmann-bio.aspx “John W. Bachmann, 71, is a senior partner of Edward Jones, a major financial services firm that advises individual investors. From 1980 until 2004, Mr. Bachmann served as managing partner of Edward Jones. Mr. Bachmann was elected to the Monsanto board in May 2004 and is a member of the Audit and Finance Committee and the People and Compensation Committee. He also serves on the boards of AMR Corporation and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, where he was the chairman of the board for 2004-2005. Mr. Bachmann has been elected to a term that expires in 2011.” Mr. Bachmann, why are you hiding your service to Monsanto from the US Chamber of Commerce’s members?

We're reduced to lolcats. Our culture is doomed. ; )
I don't like people with squinty eyes.
"If ever this vast country is brought under a single government, it will be one of the most extensive corruption, indifferent and incapable of a wholesome care over so wide a spread of surface. This will not be borne, and you will have to choose between reform and revolution. If I know the spirit of this country, the one or the other is inevitable." - Thomas Jefferson
