limited government Bush wants new mandate for Flex time?
Bush, who runs on a platform asserting that he is for limited government —and the other guy is for big, Washington-knows-best programs — is out there touting a new plan for flex time for workers so parents can go to Little League games? Consistent with vision of limited government?

For My Pet Goat Fans, on Wednesday, Vice President Cheney tours and speaks at Walzcraft Industries, La Crosse, Wis., speaks about the economy at Billy Goat Industries, Lee's Summit, Mo., and attends an event at Jefferson County Fairgrounds Rodeo Arena.

2. So this guy who couldn't come out of his hole for two years and
presented the illusion that the government was safe because he couldn't be touched - is traveling constantly and super visible and exposed at this time of high alert.

3. Flex time is no good if you don't have a job!
I also suspect there are a lot of Compaanies that won't like that at all. Some jobs are adaptable to that idea, and some are not! Those that are, I suspect, already are willing to make some exceptions for people to do some of the things that are important to them.

This is a program that is conspicuously designed to target the 25 to 49 year old voter who is already too busy to pay much attention to politics, and are impacted by sound bites they happen to overhear on the radio in the car. Initialy, it sounds good, but don't think about it too long.
