Stop Making Sense

Even though the return of the Dems to power in Congress is a victory for reasonable and sane people everywhere, Bush still has ways to mess with people's lives.

For instance, Dubya just hired Dr. Eric Keroack--who has dedicated his life to discouraging women from using birth control--as the new deputy assistant secretary of population affairs within the Department of Health and Human Services. His primary responsiblity in this position is to oversee the Federal Title X family-planning program, which has a federal mandate to provide information and access to birth control, as well as pregnancy tests, and abortion counseling/referrals (the Feds don't pay for abortions).

File this bit of perniciousness under: War is Peace, and Work will Make You Free (Arbeit Macht Frei). Here are the shameful details.
