Bush Sinks Lower Even Lower

That's right, folks. For the first time as president (he's the "decider"), Bush whipped out his veto pen. Surely Bushie would only veto a bill that clearly needs to be stopped for the well-being of our fair republic. After all, stupid decisions and pandering to religious fanatics is certainly not something Bush would do.

Yeah, I like to pretend sometimes. My imagination transports me to a magical place where compassion, reason and scruples prevail. It's sort of like an abused child pretending that he or she is living in a far away kingdom with unicorns and elves. When Bush makes a decision, particularly when he talks about that decision, every thinking person who hears his voice winces like a 5 year old kid on the business end of a huge belt buckle shaped like Texas. In the end, though, I have to reconcile with reality.

Today, President Fuck-Nut vetoed a bill that would allow federal funding for stem-cell research. Given how much money the government grants to universities, colleges and other research facilities in the private sector, this is no small act of cruel stupidity. Not to mention the money that the federal government spends on "in house" research. At least the man is consistently bad. He never fails to maintain his stranglehold on the title of "Worst President in American History." The trophy itself is an image of President Bush blowing his nose on the drapes in the Oval Office.

Seriously, if you still support this president you must have suffered a terrible head injury. That being the case, I pity you. But you shouldn't vote. Really. It's ironic that the very stem-cell research that Bush opposes would probably be useful in repairing brain damage that would make you a Bush supporter in the first place. Perhaps that's his motive, he doesn't want to lose his base.

Anyway, I hope you liked the cartoon. We'll get through this together. We'll laugh, we'll cry, and we'll mark the days on the calender to the next election.
