The only bacon I want to see is on my plate…. Unless I live on a remote island in Alaska, with about 30 other people, whom have somehow got there but can’t get off.

Whoa jr, I have too much respect for the pigs!

This must be why Islamo-fascists and Democrats hate waterboarding though – porcine lifeguards!

(They look like they’re playing waterpolo, another reason to give up bacon.)

It’s about time he dusty off the veto stamp and started using it.

Am I missing the point? Aside from all the hypocracy coming from the left, why isn’t anyone seizing on the opportunity to expose the DemocRATS as what they really are…liars who speak out of both sides of their mouths, operate in the dark of night, far from the light of day, who parse words to fit their own agenda?
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that when they “craft” the wording of these bills, they do so with words/meanings that can be easily manipulated, to show detractors that they are “actually” working within the boundries of their bill?
Please, someone tell me our conservative leadership will use this ammunition in political ads in the run up to the elections.

Uh, wait. For completely different reasons that would be Bill Clinton.

#34 Larry – check the Weyrich article on Townhall (#18) – he explains that the veto has successfuly been used to energize the base.

…a friend to conservatives who demand a tighter rein on federal spending.

Since Bush won’t be running for reelection, is that explanation really so plausible?

Not that I object to the veto, mind you.

Yes, that would be nice for a change.

$9 billion and some change?

“Increasingly confrontational.” Let’s have more of that.

AMEN Sista, with you on that!
