Bush has veto’d two bills in his 6 years in office. Thats 10 less than the average president (most veto around two per year, some more, some less).

His two choices for Vetos

Stem Cell Research
Children health Care.

There may very well have been issues with these bills but are you telling me that he could not find fualt in ANY OTHER of the vast bills that included Ear Marks, Pork Barrel Projects and blatant over spending? None of the other bills to pass his desk deserved a Veto? Give me a BREAK!

Bush Vetos Bill that included 35 Billion over 5 years for Childrens Healthcare. If there is one area I can see an increase in gov. it is when it is focused on helping those too young to help themselves. Bush can spend 190 Billion A YEAR on the Iraq war, but he wont spend 35 Billion over 5 for the health of our young ones… so so sad.

What a strange and oddly under developed open ended story.

Apparently some people in Peru came down with some form of illness after a metorite crashed in the country side and left a 100 foot crater… locals described a “strange odor”. Hopefully the metor just poped some swamp gas bubble that was under the surface where it hit… or maybe this is the beginning of some strange alien life form… HEY you NEVER KNOW!

I recently reported that CNN had posted a heart wrenching story about a young boy (Youssif) who had been set on fire by masked men. I scolded them for not providing information to their readers on how they could help (the story was all but a direct request for support).

This morning, CNN has made good and posted a follow up story providing information for a fund that has been set up by the Children’s Burn Foundation based in Sherman Oaks California.

You can read the follow up here, and donate here. Make sure you select Youssif’s Fund from the drop down menu under the “Honor/Memorial Gift Information” section.

Good job CNN. Way to follow up and do the right thing.

(FOX NEWS…. are you reading this?)

According to the back of a DC City bus this morning 1 in 20 adults in DC has HIV.

Wow, that seems like alot… I also read someplace that 1 in 3 people don’t even know they have it.

That is scary stuff people. Please Get Tested.

About a year ago I remember reading that DC was trying to get every person 14 to 84 tested… almost half a million people. I wonder what progress they have made towards that number.

I personally try to get tested every 6-8 months. There are plenty of free sites in DC to get it done.
