Sports Illustrated LTTE: The mental disconnect burns....

in the April 5 issue:

A Price to Pay

"As someone who has been unemployed for seven months, I was glad Senator Jim Bunning's objections to a bill to pay for unemployment benefits were overcome and my benefit check arrived as usual. But I was disappointed that Joe Posnanski's article (SCORECARD, March 15) failed to mention the reason Bunning objected: that both parties in Congress have become addicted to funding programs without regard for how to pay for them. As the parent of two children who will spend their adulthoods paying off today's spending sprees, I was glad the senator made that point."

I won't even comment -- I'll let this one stand alone in all its ironic glory...
