The Budget And Sex
ByJust a glimpse into the far-right psyche. The two biggest ticket items that have leaped into public consciousness discrediting parts of the stimulus package have been family planning and STD prevention. Both have been blaring Drudge headlines. Now, this is technical stuff and I don't doubt that there's merit to the case against portraying these as in some way necessary counter-cyclical emergency funding.
