marginally related to bush being the general of the rightwingnuts is the fact that like reagan, there will be a push for everything-on-earth named after our great savior george w. bush, and i don't think i can stomach.

And let's remember that "results oriented" means decreasing welfare caseloads while increasing overall, and even more significantly, child poverty since 2001. The end result, of course, is shameful.

No, they aren't thoughtful. It's more of the same "let's build a social service program that doesn't work so that we can target it later as an instance of federal assistance not working." My question--where were the governors on this? While many have reduced caseloads to negligble amounts, surely a fine can't be in their best interest. Any chance that the cuts in Medicaid are equal to or more than the fines for welfare default? That would be a kicker.

Woodward came to speak last year, promoting his latest book. He said, outright, that he had information that the intelligence in the run up to the war may not have been as solid as the Administration was purporting. He said he'd thought of running the story, but that "all hell would have rained down on him." And in the context of the election, the Post decided not to run it. When I asked him what exactly he meant by "all hell raining down on him" and from "whom," he hemmed and hawed about how it's hard to be a journalist. When a colleague asked him a follow up question about whether he would've had the same reaction 30 years ago, he all but said "things change."
