It is a time of freedom and fear, of Gaia and of borders, of many paths and the widening of
a universal toll road, emptying country and swelling cities, of the public bought into
privacy and the privacy of the public sold into invisible data banks and knowing
algorithms. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the
planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.
These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread.
Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.
Well, on that note, whoopsie! Now it turns out that the Bush Administration knew well before its Medicare boondoggle passed the U.S. Congress that the cost estimates it had supplied to legislators and the American people were wildly inaccurate. (Source: Washington Post January 31, 2004)

Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.
NOW he tells us the truth?
President Moonbeam's Medicare boondoggle, the White House acknowledges after the bill is passed, will cost 34% more than they told the U.S. Congress and the American people it would cost. Is the Bush Administration clueless when it comes to the basics of health care economics, or practiced in deception?Well, on that note, whoopsie! Now it turns out that the Bush Administration knew well before its Medicare boondoggle passed the U.S. Congress that the cost estimates it had supplied to legislators and the American people were wildly inaccurate.
