Veto

So, it seems President Bush has completed a chapter in his at-home civics course and now understands how to use the power of the Presidential Veto. Of course, like other lessons we've seen him learn, he just doesn't get it right the first time...at least in my humble opinion.

Bush's first veto is against stem-cell research funding. The bills that have gone across this guy's desk over the past 5.5 years were all signed but when it is about health and science and research, he can't sign the bill. Thank you, Mr. President. I'm sure while our scientists are stifiled, scientists elsewhere will continue working towards cures and treatments. I'm sure those suffering elsewhere will be glad to know that their governments support them and value them and want them well while those of us who are here know that the irrational opinions of our President, which are falsely grounded in morality and religion, are much more important than our illnesses.

If you do not agree and are relieved that President Bush vetoed an important bill, you are entitled just as I am entitled here to say that I am displeased.
