In a story you're not likely to hear of elsewhere, pResident "forward thinker" Bush dismissed two members of his President's Council on Bioethics last Friday afternoon in a move that has been dubbed a "very ill-advised decision" by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology president Bettie Sue Masters.

Elizabeth Blackburn, a University of California, San Francisco, biochemist and former president of the American Society for Cell Biology, and William May, a medical ethicist and former head of the Maguire Center of Ethics at Southern Methodist University, received notification last Friday that their service on the council was no longer needed.

What horse$hit.

Blackburn told The Scientist that she received a call from the White House personnel office last Wednesday (February 28) requesting her to call them back on Friday afternoon. When she returned the call, she was notified of her dismissal. Although she and May frequently expressed views opposing those of the president and the council's chairman Leon R. Kass, she said that she had "no inkling" that a dismissal was imminent and that she has not been contacted by Kass at all.

Replacing Blackburn amd May are likely some sycophants that infuse their science with healthy dose of religion.

Bush is a menace to progress on virtually every scientific front. Hell, he's a menace on virtually every front.

I watched the News Hour with Jim Lehrer last night, and they showed a bush/Cheney '04 ad that will is airing today. Bush is himself, which is awful, and he talks about how he knows what's best for America and other fables.

It begs the question, if you know what's 'right' for America now, what the hell have you have you been doing for the last three and a half years?

The overarching theme is "Steady Leadership." Get me a Haz-mat suit and a barf-bag. STAT!

America would be well served if this one Bush were pruned..preferably at the base :)

Alright, enough clowning around at the expense of Dear Leader. I gotta get stuff done.
