Bush Threatens to Veto Stem Cell Research

And my head, I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.
If I Only Had a Brain - Wizard of Oz

Too bad! Now our great leader will never have a shot at getting a brain.

According to the LA Times, Mr. Bush, that boob in the Whitehouse who claims he has been called upon by our creator to lead our great nation, has vowed to veto stem-cell research funding,

"I made it very clear to the Congress that the use of federal money, taxpayers' money, to promote science which destroys life in order to save life — I'm against that," Bush told reporters in the Oval Office. "And therefore, if the bill does that, I will veto it."

Hmmm! Now, I'm just thinking here ... In war, is it neccessary to destroy an innocent life, in order to save life?

Apparently, our President is not as committed to protecting the innocent when he hears about hapless Afghan Taxi Drivers being tortured to death on his watch as Commander in Chief.

Since we are here already thinking, here's a thought to ponder; Are innocent Iraqis considered Gods Children too?

I suppose it ain't so much that we kill that God frowns upon but rather, the 'whos' and the 'hows' of it all. It doesn't look like funding for the science of war is on the chopping block any time soon. Thank Heaven for the economics of war.
