- VA refuses to cooperate with Congress. Angry Congressman asked VA, "what do you need from us to address this suicide epidemic amongst veterans?", VA head refuses to answer weeks later. Minimum waiting time for disability assistance for vets now at six months. Some with total physical disability still waiting for assistance after three years. Bush-appointed VA administrator apparently has no problem with this, since he won't tell Congress what he needs to fix it.
- Bush to veto bill that helps homeowners facing foreclosure. Because, of course, the only right course of action is to send billions of dollars to the banks doing the foreclosing.
- Foreclosed homes pose health hazard because the banks are refusing to maintain the homes they now own, meaning that the swimming pools turn into fetid swamps breeding West Nile Virus mosquitos and worse.
- Indiana disenfranchises those evil suspicious-lookin' fraud-pandering... nuns?
- Animal control supervisor resigns after being charged with animal cruelty for drowning 50 kittens. You ask me, this is one case where waterboarding is the correct treatment.
