I have to admit I’ve never been much of a fan of reality TV; this can probably be put down to the fact that, after spending a few years in politics, watching a pack of attention-starved sociopaths stab each other in the back for the sake of more camera time kind of loses its novelty value.

As the swine flu death toll in Mexico mounts and U.S. officials go into pandemic mode, we learn that — surprise, surprise — the Republicans decided we didn’t need any of that silly pandemic preparedness and stripped $900 million out of the stimulus bill that had been earmarked for just that. And the Democrats let them.
