Homework Avoidance Post #1

T-Shirt Hell does it again! It's almost NOT pervy, cos they have been famous since they were babies. Get it?

Okay, so I used to save all my political posts for The Central Word. But no longer:

After three successive years of massive tax cuts tilted towards special interests and the extremely wealthy, the Bush's jobs promises have gone unfulfilled, and the government is lacking funds to pay for programs. The opening line of an article in today's Washington Post says it all:

"The White House put government agencies on notice this month that if President Bush is reelected, his budget for 2006 may include spending cuts for virtually all agencies in charge of domestic programs, including education, homeland security and others that the president backed in this campaign year."

Included in the proposed White House budget are cuts in a nutrition program for women, infants and children, Head Start, the Education Department, and homeownership programs - all things that Bush has trumpeted as high priorities for his administration on the campaign trail this year. As if we needed more reasons to vote this chump out of office. :)

Also, today, American Family Voices announced the release of a new video, "Honor Betrayed," that details the Bush administration's supreme mismanagement of our Armed Forces. Several of America's most respected military experts agreed to be interviewed for the video (available here), and their assessment of the Bush administration's conduct is knowledgeable and scathing. "I don't think [the troops] are getting the support from the administration that they deserve," said Ret. Gen. Joseph Hoar.

Spread the word.
