Weekend Odds and Ends

Thanks to the holiday, this week went by quick. Here's a week-end news roundup...

History is going to look back on the crazy people that President Bush appointed to powerful positions and shake its collective head. He has nominated Joseph Holsinger to be the new Surgeon General.

Not surprising. This is the same country that forced Joycelyn Elders out of that job for discussing masturbation.

One of the President's key advisors-- Dan Bartlett-- has left in shame for the private sector.

Finally, the American media shits its collective pants over Tuberculosis Man.
