Huffpo's Impact on AOL Starting to Be Seen

With Arianna Huffington now in charge of news on AOL I new it was just a matter of time before her knee-jerk liberalism started to show up on the AOL news pages.  Today must be the day based on this headline:
5 Budget Cuts That Could Kill
The headline on the actual article is a little less hyperbolic, but still a bit overwrought:
Five Budget Cuts That Could Be Harmful to Your Health
So, what are the "5 Budget Cuts That Could Kill"? Here are the agencies that AOL fears will have cuts that will kill you:
1) The Consumer Product Safety Commission
2) Poison Control Centers
3) The Environmental Protection Agency
4) The Occupational Safety and Health Administration
5) The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration
Of course, none of these would be eliminated (though a couple probably should be), they're just facing some budget cuts that would reform the way the do certain things and possibly eliminate some authority they shouldn't have.  But to the left, ANY cuts are unacceptable and they can always come up with reasons why there's not a single federal agency that can do with even $1 less.

By the way, at HuffPo the writers have been doing with less for a long time.  They've been working for free for years while making Arianna Huffington a multimillionaire, and now they're threatening to strike.

And diminishing the rate of increase also means WE'RE ALL GONNA DIEEEEEEEE.
