The Washington Post of March 6th reported that the Bush administration had announced a new policy that requiring all U.S. HIV/AIDS groups seeking federal funding for work overseas to make a written pledge to oppose commercial sex work, or risk losing funding. The Editorial rightly criticizes the Bush administration for allowing its AIDS efforts to be governed by utopian delusions, and concludes by saying "it would be nice if the prostitutes the world over could be helped toward a different way of life. But the world's oldest profession is not going to disappear and millions of lives depend on getting AIDS prevention services to its practitioners". Amen to that."

Quite possibly one of the most worrying things I've ever read; certainly one of the most disturbing things this year. At least tell me someone kicked up a stink about this. ANYONE. How the fuck did this man get elected not once, but twice?

Why, God? WHY???
