So, would y’all think that the US Gov’t tracks or monitors the number, location and risks associated with the proliferation of biolabs researching things like anthrax and what-not?
If so, you would be wrong:
No single federal agency, according to 12 agencies’ responses to our survey, has the mission to track the overall number of BSL-3 and BSL-4 labs in the United States. Though several agencies have a need to know, no one agency knows the number and location of these labs in the United States. Consequently, no agency is responsible for determining the risks associated with the proliferation of these labs.
My wife and I were recently talking about the oddness of Disney having created a cartoon character whose name is a polite expletive euphemism for Jesus Christ. (This came up in the context of one of Larry Craig’s statements, based on his strange style of cursing: “Jiminy God!”) I wonder if that would pass without comment today?
Edina Mayor Jim Hovland just switched parties, intends to try to get the Democratic nomination for replacing Jim Ramstad in Minnesota’s 3rd.
A longtime Republican, he is not shy about expressing frustration over what he sees as the extreme nature of the Republican Party these days, calling it “a marching progression to a more consolidated base and a smaller party.”
Looks like he was courted by the DCCC.
And it looks like a Iraq war vet might challenge Kline in the 2nd.

Bush was for international laws before he was against them except when he isn’t.
Bush just seems to have a knack for fucking up these days.
