Bush veto's SCHIP, behind closed doors, no big fanfare just a skulking, unconscious, unembarrased stroke of a pen. 'Compassionate Conservatism' in action.

A stranglehold on our nations collective, shared pursuit of happiness remains in place, implaccable and intractable. Once it has sqeezed every last cent out of us, it will drown us in a bathtub and turn its tornequette grip elsewhere.
