And the hits just keep coming.

Is it a coincidence that these have been the only funds slashed by this administration. Everything else was just funded more tax dollars :(.

These are most of the reforms wanted by the House:

Linkey's no workies

It probably won't go anywere. As noted in the story, the Senate has no companion bill and no apparent desire to adopt similar cuts, and the admininistration itself is against it, so it will probably simply amount to the House Republicans pounding their chests and using it as campaign fodder in 2006.

Well, they are all in agreement that the U.N. needs reform. They are differing on how to go about it.

Linkey's no workies

hmm, temp links apparently. I'll change them to the main page.

Maybe Kofi Annan should pay the other half of our dues. He should still have some bribe money left from Saddam.

Doc, that is so wrong to say that.

Annan would have to get the bribe money from his son.
