The fucker did it. He vetoed the stemcell research bill. He claims a deep religeous belief against this (though when he made the inital executive order, he bragged about how he was the first president to allow such research (while actually limiting the research)), though the timing, etc, make it obvious that he's attempting to save the republican majority in congress. Christians who allow themselves to be manipulated by this after he has denied all other tenets of Christ's teachings don't deserve to be allowed to vote.

PS (added Fri, Jul 21) If you haven't looked at Eliska's Sleepytime set, do so. Holy crap...

Don't really like that after you look at a set it attempts to force you to comment on it. Thousands of comments seem like they'd just flood the receiver into uselessness.

Today, congress appears to be on the verge of passing a bill allowing for extended research on embrionic stem cells. In 5.5 years, Dubya has yet to veto any bill. None. He has stated that he is willing to veto this one. I could write a ten thousand word treatice on why this man doesn't deserve to be president. Using government statistics and reports (along with indictments for election fraud), I could prove that he's never actually been elected. I could show that the news media currently make Pravda seem "fair and balanced". It doesn't matter. He has proved his unfitness to lead with a simple threat of veto. By saying that the one thing that he cares about is the life of the never-to-be-born, even at the expense of the already-born, over freedoms and safety of the USA, he has shown that he never took his vow as president seriously. He has violated all trust. Impeachment is too good for him, but it is a good place to start. (Hard time in one of his "humane" military prisons (Gitmo, etc) with no contact with a lawyer or family sounds fair to me, but there you go...)

The Sun, The Moon, and the Stars. Read it.

What is it about people that makes them think that a spinal chord injury equals a brain injury?

If you set off fireworks at 3:00am, expect to get shot in the nuts by a paintball gun.

So my parents were in town yesterday. They just got back from England. They went with a couple friends of theirs (husband and wife). The husband is in late stage Parkinsons, and he gets a massage every week to try and relieve some of the pain. The wife arranged for a massage for him while they were there and paid for it with their credit card. Apparently, she arranged for a "massage" from a different kind of provider. Supposedly he spent the next two days with a cheezy grin.

Just had my highschool best friend's highschool ex-girlfriend look me up. I'm glad to see her (we were friends back in the day), but it's a little odd. Not sure what she's looking for, esp since she lives in Oregon now. Might just be reliving old times, but lots of water under the bridge in the last 18 years and I haven't seen her since she broke up with my friend. That said, I had a killer crush on her back in the day. Not like I would do anything about it, of course. You don't go out with ex-girlfriends of your friends...

Well, just finished moving offices. Not next to the boss anymore. Can't say how happy that makes me.

Vicodin: the wonder drug that works wonders.

for some reason, i'm feeling very stabby today. i'll hafta avoid people as much as possible.
