Bill Moyers says George W. Bush and Tom DeLay are "conspiring to let the ban on killer assault weapons expire. Bush says he doesn't like all that loaded hardware lying around, but it's up to the House of Representatives to vote. The aptly named Tom DeLay, the House Majority Leader, on the other hand, says - wink, wink - he can't let a vote happen because Bush hasn't asked him to."

Moyers also notes "there was to be a Congressional hearing last week into the safety of anti-depressant medicine. It seems some pharmaceutical companies are suspected of keeping secret the bad news about their products. The hearing was abruptly cancelled when word spread that the committee chairman is under consideration for a big-paying job representing – are you ready for this? – the biotech and pharmaceutical industries."
