PBS plans review of kids lineup after Buster outcry
PBS president Pat Mitchell told a House subcommittee PBS will conduct a strategic assessment of its children's lineup and develop new standards after the controversy over Postcards from Buster. The episode showing a bunny with lesbian moms drew criticism from both parties and prompted Education Secretary Spellings to demand review of Ready to Learn funding. Mitchell said PBS will use experts and audience research to evaluate current programming and propose new shows.

GOP Leaders Reject Raising Social Security Tax Cap
House leaders Dennis Hastert and Tom DeLay dismissed Bush’s proposal to raise the wage cap subject to Social Security payroll tax, labeling it a tax increase. DeLay suggested potential retirement-age changes, while both opposed widening the tax base for higher earners, framing reform as not raising taxes. Greenspan cautioned against calling the funding challenge a crisis and urged private accounts alongside system changes before 2008.
