**Administration of Shame**

Not being this furious since Rehnquist appointed Bush Jr. prez, I thought an excerpt from Kristoff's New York Times column was in order so we may acknowledge yet another accomplishment of this administration.

The U.S. Census Bureau reported a few days ago that the poverty rate rose again last year, with 1.1 million more Americans living in poverty in 2004 than a year earlier. After declining sharply under Bill Clinton, the number of poor people has now risen 17 percent under Mr. Bush.

For a brilliant biting pieces check out Maureen Dowd's column. I like her work more and more.
