Taste? We Don't Need No Stinking Taste!

I dunno. Revisionist history run amok? The Big Lie approach goes huge?

Even knowing all we know about Republicans, this astounds: Elizabeth Dole Tries To Name AIDS [Relief] Bill After Jesse Helms.

Forgotten your late 20th century American history? This might help.

For the first time ever, I believe it's appropriate to call for a bitch slap.

There I was thinking that ironically-named legislation was de rigeur for the Bush administration.

Good point about the Orwellian nature of the Bushies, although I'd say that trying to name an AIDS relief bill after Jesse Helms more fits the pattern than breaks it. By far.

No prob about self-linkage. It's just the modern way of saying, "As I have said elsewhere …" along with all of that bothersome cutting and pasting.
