Yesterday's blast from the totally uncool past was the story of Congressional Conservatives like Rep. Tom Delay voting to offset the deficit spending they've authorized by cutting programs they disagree with philosophically. The list of programs they've targeted for a piddly $35B over the next 5 years should raise some complaints. Included are Medicaid, food stamps, student loans, agriculture subsidies and child support enforcement. After all, Trent Lott's new porch is worth a little shared sacrifice, doncha think?
Arianna Huffington continues to impress me even when she's completely off in left field. Such is the case in her post today about how James Carville shouldn't be looked to for the "opinion from the Left" because his marriage to Mary Matalin contorts his objectivity. Even though I still appreciate the Ragin' Cajun, this observation is about 13 years overdue. And astonishingly irrelevant. But Arianna writes about it so well that most readers could be swayed. She really has made some tasty lemonade from the long harvest of lemons for the Left.
Maya's letting me know rather loudly that our morning walk is well overdue. Hope your own trails are sunny. Rock on.
