In his continuing efforts to bring about the decline and fall of the American Empire, BushCorp™ chairman and chief science officer George "the jury's still out on evolution" Bush, has declared that he'll veto any legislation funding increased exploration of stem cells.

"I made it very clear to the Congress that the use of federal money, taxpayers' money, to promote science which destroys life in order to save life — I'm against that," Bush told reporters in the Oval Office. "And therefore, if the bill does that, I will veto it."

Since the blastocysts destroyed to generate stem cells have the same level of consciousness as is found in a typical potato, Bush is also vowing to ban fries, whether the French, or even Freedom variety.

In a related story, South Korean scientists have announced that they've discovered an improved method for growing the potentially miracle-inducing stem cells:

THIS WEEK SOUTH Korean scientists announced an impressive breakthrough in the promising but still nascent field of "therapeutic cloning." Using donated human eggs and skin tissue from multiple patients suffering from various diseases or injuries, they were able to generate genetically individualized stem cell lines for each of the patients. These lines are capable of generating the specific types of cells that may be used in promising therapies for devastating conditions.

Which all goes to demonstrate that in its futile efforts to keep the US from falling into also ran status, BushCorp™ has been killing the wrong brown people.

And, apropos of nothing: OMG clones?! Best we grant Dear Leader unlimited power so he can fight this phantom menace!
