> I know there is also the issue of legislation that has to do with cutting the Children's Insurance Program, about which one legislator (Republican) said "Well, maybe this will convince their parents to go back to their private health insurance..."
Wow - if this weren't tragic for so many families, I would have to laugh at that statement. Laugh to stop from crying at any rate.
> It puts me in mind of a political cartoon I've mentioned here before. A D.C. politico-government type is being 'grilled' by the senate. The senator is saying "I thought your administration said it would not balance the budget on the back of the poor man."

> The grillee replies, "Excuse me, Senator, but I believe these cuts will mainly affect women and children." Welcome to the new Texas.This is great!
I enjoyed the commentary - can't remember who posted it. But the writer left out one delightful tidbit about DeLay - he consumed DDT to show that it wasn't harmful. Maybe that's the problem right there!!
