State Of The Union?

The State of the Union speech will probably not cover any new ground, and one note that I suspect will not appear is the Bush budget cut to the National Cancer Institute. Bush who spouts rhetoric about a "Culture of Life" apparently doesn’t give a flying fig about the lives of American’s with cancer. If pressed on the issue I suspect he would babble some crap about the private sector…blah, blah, blah. What he means is unless there is a profit, why bother?

Bush proposed cuts would shave 36 million dollars from the budget of the Cancer Institute, which would represent a cut of around .8%. And as millions of Americans continue to die of cancer, I certainly hope they ask about this alleged "culture of life." Again not to belabor the point, but IMPEACHMENT NOW!
