All Hat and No Cattle . . .

That's what the Republicans showed themselves as, when the House restored $100 million to public broadcasting:


WASHINGTON (AP) -- Big Bird and National Public Radio won a reprieve Thursday as the House restored $100 million that had been proposed as a budget cut for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.


Of course, this money may be used against Republicans in the 2006 election cycle. And another legislative defeat adds to Bush's "lame duck" status. Ken Tomlinson might as well make out the check directly to the Democratic National Committee.
