Instead of reversing the massive cuts to housing and job training proposed by President Bush, the Bush Labor Department yesterday announced it is setting up a website to help the homeless.
Sigh. My eyes won't even roll back any more. The lids just drop.
The Department did not announce plans to give out wireless laptops to the homeless or provide the homeless with homes with desktop computers connected to the Internet.
And how about these Republican family values...
A high-profile congressional hearing into the safety of antidepressant medicines has been canceled amid new charges of conflict of interest involving conservatives and the drug industry. The Washington Post reports the hearing was "canceled on Sunday afternoon by a House panel whose chairman is weighing a top job at a trade group representing the biotech and pharmaceutical industries." Rep. James C. Greenwood (R-PA) is reportedly considering an offer to become president of the Biotechnology Industry Organization, "whose members include most of the pharmaceutical companies that were to send representatives to testify at the hearing." Patients rights advocate Vera Hassner Sharav "said that in calling a hearing into the issue, Greenwood had exploited the families harmed by the medicines. 'We now suspect the whole investigation was done to up his price,' she said."
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
