I truly hate the president. At this point, I think I'd be happier with Cheney, and if you know me, you know that I must be really peeved. It's this AIDS thing now.

First, I found myself screaming at the radio in the car the other day as I listened to Bush's plan to save pregnant women and babies from AIDS and let their husbands or non-pregnant counterparts go hang. The irony of us sending money overseas to help prevent AIDS when his own party is keeping a needle exchange program out of his own temporary home town...I don't even know where to begin with that.

Now I read this:
Washington should also end its campaign to restrict the use of generic drugs to treat AIDS and other diseases. American diplomats and trade officials have been pressuring poor countries to avoid generic drugs, and Washington is trying to impose rules at the World Trade Organization that would cripple generic producers. As generic drugs are the most cost-effective way to help people, this policy is counterproductive.

Excuse me while I go clean up the shards of my exploded head off the floor.

From a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette editorial by Gerald K. McOscar:
No responsible adult would encourage binge drinking among young people, but these overwrought efforts to protect them from demon rum has accomplished little except to ensure that they remain forever children in a hermetically sealed world insulated from real life.

Some sense, at last, and from Pennsylvania, no less. Yes, I'm honestly for lowering the drinking age, for exactly this reason.
