Well, well, well... For the first time in a very long time, I’m happy with an announcement from one of the bushboys. My very own Senator here in Tennessee announced today that he would back legislation favoring embryonic stem cell research to be funded by the federales.
Why has this made me so happy you ask oh faithful readers? Well, it’s purely selfish. I was diagnosed diabetic several years ago. While I manage to keep in pretty much in check, I know what lies in my future. I will probably die sometime in the future without all of my limbs intact. My eyesight is already going to hell in a handbasket. If it wasn’t for the Cha-Water I drink daily, my feet would feel like marshmallows. On top of everything else, my sex life has completely gone down the toilet as far as satisfying a woman the way a man needs to. Fortunately it hasn’t affected my tongue or fingers yet huh J? LOL...
So the news that research may be available to help others after I’m gone brings a smile to my face. Does it bother me that embryo’s will be destroyed to facilitate this research? Not really. The embryo’s that will be used are the thousands that were frozen that will never be used for fertilization. They will eventually be destroyed anyway. If that is their future, let them be destroyed for a good reason.
Will this bill see the light of day? Yes. Will it be signed by our commander and thief? No. Will the veto be overridden? Possibly if a campaign is started NOW. Once again faithful readers I ask, no implore, you to contact your Congressmen and Senators to vote for the bill and the impending veto. I doubt it would do any good but an email to the bushmeister wouldn’t hurt. If anyone needs the addresses for your elected officials, email me and I’ll get them to you. My email address is on the profile.

I would hate to see "embryo farms" in the future for this or any other purpose. But as long as it's cases like I stated in the post, I'm all for it. The list of diseases the research could help are endless.
