Veto

Here is me lighting a candle for the untold numbers of people the president doomed today in order to please his unevolved base. For all I know, I'm one of those doomed. For all I know, so is he.

Most of Congress stood against you this time, you son of a bitch, and it will be even more with the next bill. The allies of fear and ignorance cannot hold back science forever.

Nancy Reagan even favored stem cell research after Ronnie's brain started eating itself. On the other hand, maybe it's time to leave Jesustan for a more enlighted (if pricier) Europe? Who can say?

As for me, I assume that irony will take it's toll on the neocons.

Flowers and chocolates -- my ass...

You can hope for irony to take its toll. My money's on the fact that he overrode swaths of his own party and somewhere between two-thirds and three-quarters of national public opinion.

He did this to get cheers from his howler monkey core constituency. I hope that he and his handlers find it an expensive and regretful decision.

Canada's always a good choice--our current government's swing to the right is probably minor and will be corrected as soon as the Liberals can find thier ass with both hands, which should be sometime next spring. And our population at large is so liberal that even our right-wingers look like Commies to the average Jesustanian.
