Stem Cell bill vetoed

Kudos to President Bush for gunning down a bill that would have done away with Bush’s restrictions on embryonic stem cell research.

Amazing that this was his first veto, but it’s a good one nonetheless!

Not to be all gloomy, but I doubt these restrictions will survive his presidency despite the “pie in the sky” nature of the promises made by ESC proponents, or the lack of convincing evidence that other types of stem cell research can’t be as productive.

War not extended to Iran…yet

My pulse raced a bit when I saw this headline on Drudge:
hasty headline

Reading the linked article, however, revealed that while the missile may have been Iranian, it was a Hezbollah missile truck located in Lebanon.

Drudge has since modified the somewhat misleading headline.

Of course, given Iran’s current course, and its longstanding sponsorship of Palestinian terror, a strike on Iran would be perfectly justified, in my opinion.

Shut up, world

Israel flag

That includes American calls for “restraint,” Ms. Rice.
