Today the house voted to expand the stem cell research funding. I was very pleased to hear this. This is the first bill where the republicans went against the president. Bush says he will veto this bill if it reaches his desk. I think it’s a good sign that the republicans will not back the president 100%. The bill is expected to get through the house without any problems. I think Bush should think twice about vetoing this bill. But maybe he should go ahead and veto the bill. It would put another nail in his coffin.

The medical advantages of using stem cells out ways the loss of embryos. There are some 400,000 embryos sitting around in freezers waiting to either become children or be used for research. We just need the okay to let people donate them to science. I was talking to Homer on the phone and he was telling me that his republican mother has diabetes and would love a new pancreas but she doesn’t realize that won’t happen until further research with stem cells is allowed. That’s why Homer agrees with me that this bill is a good idea. Now watch Bush fuck it up by vetoing it.
