While Clinton's plan was shot down for cutting into social security funds, the Republicans certainly cannot claim the high ground. After insisting that they would not exceed spending limits, the Republicans are now calling the 2000 census an "emergency" in order to make their excessive spending exempt from the caps. It is ironic that Republicans insist that there is almost $800 billion in surplus for a tax cut yet they cannot yet stay inside their self-imposed spending caps.

...help save livestock across the eastern part of the state ? are certainly not defecating where they ought. North Carolinians will certainly welcome Bill Clinton?s moist eye (and wrinkled nose), and the attention and federal disaster monies he?ll bring with him.

By aggressively treating folks whose readings exceed the normal limit of 140/90 mm Hg at rest, physicians have prevented millions of premature deaths and untold suffering. But it looks as if we've stopped getting the message. A national health survey released two years ago showed that blood-pressure rates are no longer falling; at the same time, the incidence of stroke has started to rise...
