“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Misplaced priorities:The anti-drug

Yeah, this makes sense:
...President George Bush, who had already promised a more aggressive campaign against substance abuse, has ordered that resources be allocated to fighting so-called 'soft' drugs instead of concentrating on harder forms, such as heroin and cocaine.

This is like saying we are going to allocate more resources to stopping muggings rather than concentrating on rape and murder.

All this makes me wonder if our President isn't smoking something. First the whole denial of lawsuits against drug companies, now this? Does he realize there is an election going on?
