Meeting the Taxpayer Test

" . . .realism is not the enemy of idealism, and taxpayers aren't being selfish when they place a heavy burden on those who would ask them to part with some of their money.

Advocates of public action need to meet
that test."

— Washington Post's EJ Dionne writing about CA's failed universal preschool initiative

Words to live by

This year's first day of April was noticeably lacking in April Fool's jokes as far as mention in the media was concerned. Perhaps this is due to the fact that, with George Bush and Dick Cheney still at the helm of the ship of state, there is no need to single out a particular day for foolishness or nasty pranks in the United States: every day is April Fool's day in this country for the time being.
