Veto

[prog]

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.

stem cell research is key to understanding diseases like MS. i kind of take this one personally.

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...

I just wonder which country it is that will take up the torch of stem cell research. Sweden? Germany? Whomever it is, I see this primarily as an economic blunder, setting research back the few years until a non-idiotic Congress can override the veto...

And I sure hope too many people don't die in the interim.

Very frustrating. If the president can veto whatever he feels like doesn't that make him more like a King than the leader of a democracy?

It will be a good day for America and the rest of the world when this country is not run by a creepy uncle character.
