So I notice on the front page of my local paper this morning that Claude Allen, formerly Bush’s top domestic policy advisor, got busted for defrauding a\u00a0Target store with thousands of dollars of phony returns.\u00a0 Allen may have been best known for his advocacy of increased federal funding for abstinence education for school children – as the best way to prevent pregnancy, the spread of AIDS, or orgasmic-induced dementia.<\/p>\n
Now if only\u00a0 the federal government had provided abstinence education to teach political appointees not to steal…\u00a0 On the other hand, if this type of education had been in use a few years ago, then perhaps Bush would have had far more difficulty picking Americans to staff Iraq’s Coalition Provisional Authority.<\/p>\n
I sometimes go to the same store that Allen may have bilked. But the only thing I ever returned there\u00a0was a rickety $25 build-it-yourself dumbbell rack that, when finished, appeared untrustworthy of supporting anything\u00a0 other than a\u00a0few\u00a0pairs of Origami paper sculptures.\u00a0 No matter how hard I cussed that stupid thing, it still was not worth a damn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
