VCF 5.0 on the verge of being cancelled :(

Hopefully you've noticed that Dubya's efforts, so far, have all been directed at
improving the finances of various interests, all, coincidentally, located in
Texas. George-I, while no rocket scientist himself, was quite a bit smarter
than George-II, but all his sons seem to have turned out more crooked than he
was. This was no secret from George-I, as he started the "Desert Shield"
operation on the very day that his son, Neil, came up on charges of defrauding a
Colorado S&L out of billions.

When Dubya set his policy regarding stem-cell research funding, it was surely
not unknown to him that the majority of those "already existing viable" lines of
stem-cells belonged to one Texas Bioresearch firm. It was also no secret that
most of the defense contractors that would benefit from his inane "missile
defense" program are in Texas. Does it surprise anyone that he allowed the
mostly Texan energy conglomerates that raped the California energy-consuming
public to back away quitely while he "formulated" a policy?

It's not necessarily the political affiliation, but the principal state of
residence, (not the bogus one, as is Wyoming with respect to the VP, who was a
TX resident as little as 91 days before the convention) that has the most effect
on a man's presidential conduct, methinks.
