1. It passed 63 to 37. Is this the one Chimp threatened to veto?

Confusing, so many damn bills...

[napi21]

3. YES! This is the one! Let's see if this is his one and only veto!!!!

I don't know why I think this, but I don't think he wants this to be recorded in history like that!!!!

10. What does Bush suggest we do with the "unwanted embryos"?

Give them all to Santorum so he can have his way with them?

Bush's veto is the same as saying, "You're paralyzed? Well too bad, we're not going to help you recover". He'll regret his veto.
