But citing CHIP's performance as evidence that Bush is ignoring child health is not really convincing, since 39 other states have done just as badly as Texas in using federal funds allotted to them.

It has continued through Al's vice presidency, during which he played a key role in negotiating a voluntary TV-ratings system, a law requiring that new televisions be equipped with a V chip to help parents block out offensive programs, and a deal in which broadcasters agreed to provide three hours of educational children's television a week.

We not only collaborated to carry my sandwich, fruit and cupcake on a daily basis, we also smashed fire ants, threatened bullies, and banged a nice little chip into my front door the afternoon my mom had a late meeting and wasn't home right after school. When I got a bit older, I callously traded in my friend for a disposable brown paper bag - but I never forgot the satisfying sound my lunchbox made when I snapped it closed after eating, or the comforting, slightly synthetic piquancy the thermos...
