GeekPol's evil twin

Jeralyn Merritt of Talk Left is subbing today on Altercation this week while Eric Alterman is in Brussels. First post is about the gummint's anti-weed ads that will be shown during the Super Bowl. I won't go into the content of the spots, because she does a fine job with that. Instead, there's the obvious - the Bush drug office spent more than $4 million on the spots. That's at least 33% more than the entire budget of the 'independent' investigation into 9/11.

It's obvious that the Shrubbery considers 3000 dead Americans to be less important than getting crap drug ads on during the Super Bowl.

I need a stiff drink after reading that.
