..................

It looks as though Bush is on to killing off the old folks -- here as well as in Iraq -- with this latest budget game plan (increase funding of war on Iraq, cut taxes for the rich, cut essential coverage of medical needs for the seniors). Next thing one knows anyone who cannot jog a mile (and cut his swatch of sage brush) will be denied medical care automatically.

And so it goes in Bush's America.
