16. Thanks, Sabra...
I should have added quotation marks. The cluelessness (?!) of "anybody know what this means" was me putting words in dimson's mouth. You are a very nice person for trying to set me straight!

11. Bush is issuing his budget in digital format
"Bush reviewed the budget with his Cabinet. He held aloft a computer tablet that contained the budget details."This is a good, solid budget," the president said. "It's not only an innovative budget in that it's coming to Congress over the Internet. It's a budget that's balanced gets to balance in 2012 and saves taxpayers money."

He isn't really issuing free tablet PCs though. He is releasing printed versions of it for (I ferget exactly) $200.00 a pop. Otherwise, the folks that want a copy will have to either read it over the web or print all (I ferget exactly) all two thousand pages themselves.

18. Thanks, blogslut.
Does he get to keep the $200 for himself, or does it go directly to Halliburton?

28. Members of Congress usually get copies of the budget
handed to them. They can go to the net or pay bucks for the 2000 page budget proposal. This is the 1st of many budget savings Dumdum has in mind like cutting down on certain health 'benefits' in Medicare, Medicaid, education programs, medical research, infrastructure upgrade/highways/dams, and of course, Social Security (you know, stuff that is really not important). Most likely the bulk of that budget is going to be in the form of military aid to protect our freedoms from those evil people in the Mideast. Caligula will be looking to investigate the value of sea shells any day now.

30. Yep
Just heard the Democratic response to the budget on teh C-Span. Paraphrasing - No mnetion of the war costs. No mention of the debt as opposed to the deficit. The expected slashing of "entitlement" programs (I hate that damned term) and localized services. In other words...a crap budget from a crap president.
