A Couple of Things
The Flu Levee

There ought to be a law against an elected official setting a target date for a policy at a year after he or she will be out of office.
President Bush's press office issued a statement from Pusan, South Korea, where the president was meeting with leaders of Southeast Asia, praising the action on the budget cuts.
"I applaud the Republican Members of the House who passed a significant savings package that will restrain spending and keep us on track to cut the deficit in half by 2009."
