lol
i agree with kansas1946

everyone should hightower''s (and others) books to see what sort of people bush has appointed to executive positions from the start

just about every one of the major government function posts were filled will people who were either executives of or lobbyists for the industeries (and environmentals) that they would be regulating.

it is any surprise when we see drugs advertise that are actually proven unsafe and dangerous to take. that may even kill you or give you terrible side effects to ruin the rest of your life? drugs that you cannot even get without a prescription?

he and cheney brought such a atmosphere of greed to our government that boggles the mind that people dont see them for what they are, but when it''s rally around the flag boys----who can resist that call !
just another example. i hope the dems clean house, but

in reality it''s usually just a slight tidying that gets done i''m afraid
;((

$48,000 in a cash award and retention bonus went to an associate commissioner whose plan to overhaul FDA field labs was rejected by Congress as poorly thought-out.


$41,000 went to the director of the office of criminal investigations, pushing his total income to enforce one statute to $208,000 - more than the director of the FBI makes.

"The kicker of course is the person who was hired to reform the bonus system received the biggest bonus," Stupak said. "$58,000."

Under the Bush adminstration, nothing would surprise me. These are nothing but politcal hacks paid for by the American taxpayer.
