Jewish World Review Feb. 23, 2005 / 14 Adar I, 5765 And now for the important news .... By Argus Hamilton

Jose Canseco's book sparked outrage Monday over steroid use
in Major League Baseball. Home-run records mean nothing now.
Hardly five minutes of news goes by every day without another
reminder that February is Barry Bonds Is History Month.
The White House denied claims that President Bush knew
steroids were used by his Texas Rangers. He can't win. For four
years Democrats have said that George Bush doesn't know anything,
and now that he says he didn't know anything, Democrats don't
believe him.
Joe Lieberman Sunday proposed evicting Russia from the G-8
Summit until they return to being a democracy once again. Reaction
was mixed. John Kerry called it a ridiculous idea, and then added
that he wholeheartedly endorses it.
Dick Cheney said Thursday that America's tax code must be
simplified. He said there are more people employed in the tax
preparation business than there are in the U.S. Army. That's why
it's easier to take Omaha Beach than it is to take away the home
mortgage deduction.
Bill Clinton and former president Bush flew to Thailand last
weekend to survey tsunami damage. They have put their 1992 contest
behind them. At the time, President Bush was seen as detached from
the needs of everyday people, as opposed to Bill Clinton, who was
on top of everything.
U.N. refugee director Ruud Lubbers resigned Sunday over
breast-groping charges made against him by women who worked at
U.N. headquarters. He had to depart. It didn't look good to see
women fleeing for their lives out of the Office of Refugees.
The FDA decided to keep Vioxx and Celebrex on the market
Friday. Their stock prices shot up. Prescription drugs are so
profitable that Colombian drug lords have begun plowing under the
cocaine crop to try to find a way to grow arthritis medicine.
