Rare Quick and Good Action in Washington

It seems like President Bush will be signing a new bill soon -- and it's one that just about everyone can agree on: reforming the school lunch program so that it's easier for hungry, poor kids can get free lunches. (This is S.2507 for those who are interested.) Not bad for a bill introduced on June 7th. If only this nonpartisan action could be more regular on the hill! (Then again, it is an election year... who wouldn't vote for this bill?)

Nuclear Arms Control, right from the Bush Campaign

I read a very scary quote today from Rep. Porter Goss, R-FL, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, from an article on CNN, in reference to a Kerry speech claiming the Bush administration has reduced funding for accounting of nuclear materials that are capable for building nuclear weapons:

"I also think it's unrealistic and dangerously naive to assume that we're going to get all the nukes in a lockbox somehow," Goss said.

"I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. The effort is worthwhile, but I don't think you're ever going to get 100 percent."

I think it's great that something as important as keeping tabs on nuclear weapons is such a high priority.

What about that bomb that slips through the cracks?

A Bit of Social Commentary

I was alerted to the existence of an educational and fun game the other day regarding our President, George W. Bush.

It is a bit crude at times, but I believe that it is well worth playing through at least once.
