...everybody blames Gerberding for the turmoil. "I don't think anyone denies that there's a morale problem at the CDC," says Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association. But he attributes much of the upheaval to government-wide belt tightening rather than to Gerberding's reorganization, noting that core programs at the CDC have been cut 4.5% in each of the past two fiscal years. He and other experts believe that the agency needs at least $15 billion a year to do all the jobs it has been assigned--nearly twice the current budget...

Or maybe...
...Take the congressional race in Louisville. Despite the city's location just spitting distance from the Bible Belt - and directly across the river from conservative, rural Southern Indiana - voters veered leftward in picking an unabashed liberal to replace a popular and well-entrenched conservative Republican congresswoman. Indeed, no one in this city has ever mistaken Democrat John Yarmuth - founder and former editor of an alternative newspaper called Louisville Eccentric Observer - as a centrist, much less a conservative...
