No place to hide

Bush says backs minimum wage raise

How I feel.  No allies in government, and no place to hide. I can't stand it.

It's a cliche now that free market advocates expecting Republicans to control the growth of government shows the triumph of hope over experience, but these days the Bush Administration doesn't seem to even pretend to fight. On Wednesday, the President announced that he would support a hike in the federal minimum wage, from $5.15 to $7.25 an hour, in exchange for the Democratic Congress providing "targeted tax and regulatory relief" for small businesses. - "Bad Politics at a Minimum"
