At Least They're Having Fun in Little Rock
Great news out of Iran today. A real shocker, this one.
More happy news. It looks like mad cow may be back. Sounds like the perfect moment for the reconvened GOP-led Congress to repeal scheduled food labeling laws. Check out Eric Schlosser’s terrifying article in last month’s issue of Vanity Fair to find out why this is a bad idea.
I’m all for a pro-business environment, but hoss, don’t you think this deregulation bit’s done got outta hand? Will it end only with the rollback of every last vestige of the New Deal? That, of course, is the real reason that Bush continues to allow the deficit to explode. When it finally dawns on the American people what this radicalized GOP is really up to, the shit is gonna hit the fan.
That is why I wait. For the inevitable pendulum shift. For someday, it will not be such a grand ol' party.
The gross, purposeful negligence of our government w/r/t the safety of our food is surely one of the most disturbing of the balls dropped by our sworn protectors—though it has a helluvalot of competition. Just from today’s news:

- Senate approves legislation to increase debt ceiling by $800 billion (!!), House to follow.
- House GOP changes rules to shield Tom DeLay if he is indicted.
- Arlen Specter gets bitchslapped (again).
- Now for my personal favorite. Who would have thought this even possible? Secrecy grows in Bush administration?
So when do we start having fun again? Or does that only come after Ronald Reagan's name is slapped onto absolutely everything that can possibly be named?
This may be a start. Spend some time here and soak up the empathy.
Bill, oh Bill, wherefore are thou?
Ah yes, that’s happening today also. At least they’re having fun in Little Rock.
