Not willing to wait for Congress, our fearless leader is pushing through his "faith-based initiative" - a measure that effectively sends money to religious non-profit groups to help to the poor, despite the fact that many of the groups have discriminitory hiring practices based on religious preference.

Sounds good, right? Not so fast...

Considering the fact that the Bush is seeking to cut $300 million from the nation's biggest source of home heating aid (in the middle of a cold winter), this "initiative" sounds more like Bush is passing the 'poor' buck to churches.

Any chance we can kick back some of that defense spending to help the poor? Not with Uncle George in office.

Also....in case you missed it. 100 people were arrested in nationwide war protests....clergy included.

On a lighter note.....GOP Senator Trent Lott sure is feeling the heat over those racist remarks he let slip the other day. Even Bush is getting in on the boot party.
