Reuters News Service reported late last night that George W. Bush signed the congressional authorization for FEMA to borrow more money to fund the National Flood Insurance Program. The wire service report added, "A Senate aide said the $18.5 billion Congress approved on Friday should sustain the program through February."

nearly $194 billion. Yet, not one day has gone by when we had to stop writing
Iraq checks.
