Thoughtless for the Day

From our new buddy Jack Tapper (not to be confused with Jack Tripper) we learn that almost-life-like White House spokesghoul Tony Snow(flake child) has rescinded his earlier statement that embryonic stem cell research is the equivalent of murder (see yesterday's post)

Oddly, that's the second most interesting thing on Jack the Tapper's site. Coming in at number one is this piece about Snowflake Children in which we learn, among other disturbing things, that if you're gonna make a Snowflake Baby you're gonna have to break a few embryos:

"'Typically when we transfer or thaw the embryos, about half of them survive thawing,' Stoddart reports. 'Of those that survive, about a third result in a birth.' Two-thirds of the embryos that survive thawing don't become a baby either because of miscarriage or failure to implant in the adoptive mother's uterus."

King Me!

By now you've no doubt read all about the American Bar Association's criticism of Bush's abuse of presidential signing statements. What a bunch of gawddamn candy-assed pansies the ABA have become. Personally, I say "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Every time the President does something half-assed we, the American public, should issue a signing statement declaring our intentions to ignore him. For example, when Bush vetoed expansion of stem cell research we should've simply issues a statement reading: "As, throughout his entire life, our President has never show any intellectual curiosity, we find it impossible to trust him on matters of a scientific nature (please see also our signing statement regarding our President's misguided belief that evolution is 'just a theory'.). Therefore we declare his veto to be null and void: break out those Petri dishes, boys!"
