While I was gone...

So, I travel out of the country and look at the news from home?

Over one hundred prisoners have died in US custody in Afghanistan and Iraq. Why, that's worse that a Turkish prison!

Bush's budget cuts are nicely targetted at Blue States. See here for the discussion of Oregon's fate under the budget.

And the Senate votes to open the ANWR to oil drilling. The oil companies don't care too much since there isn't much oil there, leading us directly to the ANWR Development Act of later this year which will pay the companies to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and pay Hummer owners to leave their engines idling.

Wolfowitz heads to the World Bank... Darn it, Bono was a reasonable choice.

We don't have to worry about Social Security because obesity will reduce life expectancy far enough to save money.

Okay! Enough on this topic.
