Hurray for news focusing on the important things:

"House bans government sponsored Viagra"
BIG NEWS!!! Let's use hundreds of variations on this headline!

Every once in a while, the headline is something like this instead:
"House bill cuts health, school funding"
YAWN...

But new demands [such as hundreds of billions being spent in Iraq?], including $870 million to administer the new Medicare prescription-drug program, forced cuts in scores of programs. The bill also provides money for two big priorities of the conservative movement: faith-based community outreach and abstinence education.

But a budget squeeze forced the termination of 57 programs and froze or reduced funding to many others.
