I'm still angry about Tom DeLay's declaration of "ongoing victory." It's an ongoing something all right (polite words fail me).

Even the argument of political infeasibility of cutting spending doesn't hold water here. God willing, it will be a long time before another catastrophe makes citizens more willing than they are now to shift federal money from their favorite pet projects to something more important. There has even been an NYT editorial in support of gutting the recent highway bill. There is simply no excuse for the current fiscal insanity.
