Hero of the Week:

-Paul Krugman, one of the few journalists at the NY Times
(or anywhere else for that matter) to tell the unvarnished truth
about the Bush agenda in language people can understand.

Villain of the Week:

- Donald Rumsfeld, whose unspeakable arrogance and imperious
attitude toward the brave young Americans serving in Iraq should
earn him a special place in hell.
