Hero/Hack
My heroes (albeit with a qualifier) this week are Congressional Democrats. They are trying to block a Congressional pay raise, which I totally agree with. Most of these people are independently wealthy, and they don't need any more taxpayer dollars. I say qualified though, because they are doing it either to protest the lack of raise in minimum wage, or so they can spend it on other useless things, depending on which Democrat you talk to.My hack this week is everyone who supports the ban on DDT. The rampant spread of malaria in HIV areas (and vice verse), is raising some eyebrows. And the DDT ban it just dumb at the end of the day. NPR has more.
