Let it never be said that the Washington Post’s Lori Montgomery can’t write a killer first sentence: “After getting blasted last week for presenting a budget plan light on details, House Republicans today unveiled a more complete proposal that would cut taxes for business and the wealthy, freeze most government spending for five years, halt spending approved in the economic stimulus package and slash federal health programs for the poor and elderly.” In other words, while last week’s version only included, say, “We will kill puppies,” this week’s adds, “We will kill 47 puppies.” [Washington Post]
