US Roundup:
And now, the latest news from the World's Leading Nation:
Firstly, it comes out that George W. Bush's successful missile defense test
was
a fake, with the target missile being rigged with a GPS beacon for the
"kill vehicle" to lock onto. Now if we could persuade Saddam to make GPS
beacons standard equipment, then everything would be fine and dandy, but
failing that, the test is a sham. Meanwhile, ancient superstition has
triumphed over scientific progress with the House of Representatives voting
to
ban stem cell research, on Scriptural grounds. And the White
House's reproductive health policy, surprisingly enough, will divert funds
from those subversive pinko feminists in the family-planning movement towards
an
abstinence-based strategy,
closely tied to evangelical Christian groups.
