Damn it Jim every cell in his body has been disrupted

I read today in this article on the BBC news site that President Bush is the first president in almost 200 years to not use his veto in all four years of office. (what, he agreed with every bill congressed passed?) However he is soon to use his first veto in a bid to defeat a bill increasing funding of embryonic stem cell research. Sweet. A real piece of joined up thinking. He lets congress run amock and then sticks his ore in when his sensitive Christian principles are offended. Well, I'm not complaining if he wants to set US research into an important and promising future technology back a few decades on us Brits thats fine by me. We had an Empire once you know? But we had to sell the bastard to pay America for it's involvement in the Second World War. The story might not be all that reliable. As ever they claimed Ronald Reagan died of Alzheimer's when in fact he died of Frontal and Temporal Lobe Dementia.

On another subject I am seriously liking this new fangled version of 'Battlestar Galactica'. I know it sounds stupid, because the first version, back in the 80's, was frankly like watching a cat shit - you can do it, but it ain't that entertaining and everyone ends up embarrassed - but this is way neat. I'm not usually a fan of remakes but I also watched 'Batman Begins' again last night which is a cracking version, as good as the Tim Burton original.

This I laughed at until a little bit of wee came out....
