The wrong priorities

This administration has the wrong priorities. Last year they CUT $65 million from the Army Corps of Engineers' $105 million request for hurricane and flood programs in New Orleans. Yet, as part of the pork-filled $286 billion highway bill, the Administration agreed to spend $280 million to build a "bridge to nowhere" in Alaska. Congress is to blame, too, but it's the President who sets the tone.

Check out Maureen Dowd's column in the NYTimes. She grew up Irish Catholic in New Jersy and has an amazing way with language, especially when she's pissed off. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/03/opinion/03dowd.html
