Among the stunts pulled by the White House during their desperation efforts in the weeks before the election:
Oh, and then there's this. The [Agriculture Department's] hunger/food insecurity report usually appears in October. This year's version -- the fifth straight to show an increase in the number of hungry Americans -- was held for release until after last week's election.
--Tim Grieve [S$]
A dark trifecta: More evidence of the breakdown of society (thanks to compassionate conservatism), another Bush Administration effort to suppress the evidence, and a new Orwellian term: People who don't have anything to eat are officially no longer "hungry." They now just experience "food insecurity."
Another item that seems to have escaped the MSM, currently obsessing over something really stupid, is the appointment by Bush of one Eric Keroack as the new chief of family-planning programs for the Department of Health and Human Services. Keroack's last job? Medical director for a group called A Woman's Concern, which believes that "the crass commercialization and distribution of birth control is demeaning to women, degrading of human sexuality and adverse to human health and happiness."
I'm sure women prefer to trust men to take full responsibility in matters of birth control, right? And in any case, no one finds unwanted pregnancies adverse to happiness, don't you agree?
Thanks again to Mr. Grieve [S$] for keeping us aware.
