I confess to laughing out loud this morning when the radio news kept me tuned by announcing, "US Government Plans to Cut $35 Million from Programs for the Poor to Fund Hurricane Katrina Relief" -- a sick, despairing laugh, quite involuntary.

I could go on and on and on, but to what end?

For those of you despairing that no candidate to date seems a likely successor to our current President, may I humbly suggest you check out

Our Best Hope

and plan to vote accordingly.
