Schmarmy Christmas to You!

These were just too fun to not find some more.

I bet Schrub would kick Tiny Tim's crutches out from under him.

From this site "Bush Family Christmas Card Courtesy of my Friend Knox McConnell."

Got distorted when I blew it up, but this is veeeeeeery interesting.

And this. This I must have blown up somehow. From 2003.

This one is all over the internets, but I thought it was appropriate.

And obviously I have way too much time on my hands if I can find a sweet gem like this (again with the realtime players) Where else can you find Karl Rove reading "Santa's New Reindeer?"

Ok. I can do this. I have the powers of the Googlinator.

I didn't know there was another Bush daughter that had died of leukemia. I sure never hear about it, and the only celebrity fundraisers for leukemia that I've seen have been Cindy Crawford and Denise Rich. I did see a few articles, but you'd think they'd be bigger spokespeople about it. So sad. Robin Bush wasn't even 4 yet.

I knew this about their daughter but like you
I am puzzled, you never hear a word.

They could be such a force-but they don't believe
in stem cell resarch either.

Actually, it's not that they do not believe in stem cell research, it's just they don't believe in using goverment funding in embryonic stem cell research. Embryonic stem cell work has proven thus far in animals to be a dud, that even private funding isn't there.

It's not only bad science, but also immoral. Think of a future where poor women are becoming impregnated to harvest their fetuses.

Deb if you recall was saved by an ADULT stem celll transplant. It's much different than the kind where one would have to derive them from Human embryos.

There is also research in obtaining stem cells from cord blood, which also does not require the death of a human life.

Please if you're going to HATE the Bushes, have your facts straight.
