Quick odds and ends...

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will hold hearings this week on "waste, fraud, and abuse" in our government. We at the ELPN eagerly await their findings.

Bush's 2008 budget proposal seeks to cut around $90 billion from Medicare and Medicaid.

Fox's new attempts at channeling the success of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" seem to be... well... bad. First, a clip of its show "Red Eye" has leaked; commenting on the Biden-Obama flap from last week, host Greg Gutfeld says that "Liberals have this secret racism about blacks. They’ve got to be light-skinned in order to be acceptable.", and a panelist also says that Oprah is clean because "[s]he does douche." Also, they are planning a second show, the queerly named "Half-Hour News Hour," which plans to have Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter as "the President and Vice-President" in one of its early episodes.
