They're called the Bush tax cuts for a reason. And when they were passed in the early 2000s, most Democrats opposed them.

Beware of "Malware Monday." But don't be too concerned.

If you're unlucky enough to own a PC that's been infected by the DNSChanger malware (and still hasn't been disinfected), you could be out of luck when you try to connect to your ISP on Monday. Estimates vary about the number of computers infected. In the U.S., we're seeing anything from about 45,000 to 64,000, and somewhere in the neighborhood of a quarter-million worldwide.
