#1 Lee, however, punctuates her praise with sharp objections to a requirement in the initial request that 33 percent of the funds for international AIDS relief go to programs that promote abstinence until marriage.

$10 billion is a bit high, even for a pro-lifer like me who sees the connection between premaritial sex and the pressure to abort babies. However, the logic is obvious: AIDS is an STD playing a game of "tag" in which players become "it" permanently. Abstinence before marriage means you never join the game, and so don't have a chance of being "it". Faithfulness on the part of both partner within marriage effectively isolates two players in a private game that neither can be "it" if both were not "it" to start with.

I remember reading of the indignation of a West Coast Gay who complained that he was in a "faithful partnership" and still got AIDS because "he and his partner went out 'on the town' separately only on Wednesdays!". To keep their partnership "fresh", mind you.

It seems like the president is once again reaching out to congressional Democrats through a shared concern for Africa.

Bullshit. He's doing the right thing, and they're just tagging along, taking credit for his work, just as Clinton did with Welfare and the Improved economy he inherited from Bush I.

#6 He's saying it the weobf way, but he's got an opinion that is valid. He thinks its a way of buying the black vote.

Everyone with a fully functioning brain knows that it will never work, but we are talking about politicians, so brains doesn't really apply here.

#7 You've got to be careful at Rantburg expressing thoughts like that, my dear Mr. Grusosh Borgia9229. A good many of the regulars are one of the other shades of the rainbow, and an intersecting set are current or former military... or other professions wiser not to annoy. Clever people modify their language accordingly.

Mike N., like the Jews the percentage of Blacks who think of themselves as Conservative and vote Republican has been growing steadily over the past decade. It's not just one Supreme Court Justice, an economics professor, and the Secretary of State anymore. I'm quite certain President Bush is aware of that.

I read this as the execution of another of Bush's pre-emptive moves -- like invading Iraq -- to keep the problem over there and small, rather than growing and invading our shores.
