Bush Budget Leaves Autistic Children Behind
Jason McElwain aka “J-Mac” — the autistic high-school basketball player — gained national attention when he scored 20 points for his varsity team with a flurry of 3-pointers. While President Bush has publicly acknowledged his admiration for the young star, his FY07 budget shows an indifference towards autistic children:

3. Another Busted Photo-Op
Last night Bill Mahrer asks that they label the picture as to who the real autistic child is in that picture.

A local sportscaster made a ton of fun of this thing. He had aired the J-Mac video when it first happened and predicted that eventually booosh would use it as a photo-op. The cynicm in his voice when he showed boooosh with the kid was precious. And, he, too made mention of the large amounts of money booosh has cut to both education and health. Ouch!

I truely do not like republicans. Their hatred and indifference make my blood boil. Any clergy that say people should vote for these people are not followers of the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Personally, I think this is the sickest and inhumane modern industrial society on the planet.
