TASO and Jeff Sachs

President Bush visited TASO, the charity to which our royalties will be going, yesterday, touting his $15 billion AIDS package at the same time Congress was cutting funds for its first year. For any who may be interested, the Boston Globe published this op-ed by Jeffrey Sachs (any U2 fan will know that name) and Paul Zeitz laying out some of the realities amid all the spin. Bush's radio address today is on the same topic. Bono was on CNN last night to say what he thought, and U2 World has Bono's subdued and saddened remarks in WMV and RealMedia here. OK Edge, play the blues.
