I agree that it is not the first or will it be the last administration to act in such a manner.
Replacing a rubber nipple covered insulin needle in an ad with a cherry-topped ice cream scoop is not the issue as much as it is representative of how the Bush administration has far exceeded others in such practices of allowing major contributors to influence the messages (particularly when it comes to science and medicine) of the federal goverment.

i think it may be better to find oneself in a position of being able to see the administration in a cold-blooded way. getting all snarky seems a distraction, a waste of energy.

roach...I agree with your upside and your downside.
I'm still pretty laid back and not all that snarky.
But I am counting down.....507 days, 23 hours, 48 minutes, 33 seconds
