Yeah, this does seem like politics as usual, and not any particular new outrage by the Bush Administration. I would say if you wanted to counterpoint the $40 million spent on celebration against anything, it would be the poverty in which some people in America are living, to say nothing of the rest of the world, but that's just the little socialist who pops on my shoulder from time to time. I also agree with supermikey about Indiana; many states are in large debt and having to cut back on social services, transportation, and even school to make ends meet, so I hope the politicians are at least making token efforts to trim the fat and tighten their belts, but, again; politics as usual.
