Go Pick on a Crisis Your Own Size

An article in today's Washington Post [sign-in required] noted President Bush highlighted new legislation allowing "religious charities to hire and fire based on religious beliefs even while receiving federal funding."

A cynic might think this was a response to a former staffer's recent criticism that Bush was insufficiently dedicated to seeing his faith-based initiatives through.

But not me. I think it's a totally sincere effort to distract us from how his campaign to save Social Security is going.
