Well, the rest of Europe ought to be celebrating that the French army won't be let in.

The Euro armies are impotent precursors of the fate that awaits W's stormtroopers.

I am relatively new so I am not used to your lingo. Is a Repuke the same as a Republican? Just trying to figure out when I am being attacked for an affiliation.

No Vetos

Does anyone else find it amazing that Bush has not Vetoed any bill yet. I realize that the Republicans control both houses of Congress, but still, it is a little amazing. I know Carter vetoed a lot of bills when he was in office and the Dems controlled both houses. Did Clinton veto any bill in his first two years when the Dems controlled both the House and the Senate?

Bush has been extraordinarily succesful in getting Congress to march in lockstep behind him thus far, and this probably explains why he hasn't had to veto anything.
