President Bush again renews my faith in voting for him, if in but a small way.

Really? I didn't know that. Well, maybe someone else can tell us, then.

This is a really old news story. I'm happy it's true, but it was announced over two years ago.

I guess it applies to the breathing fetus that gets carved out of womens abdomens and have the police searching 2 states.

The fetus that didn't count for an Amber alert until the police pushed the issue.

It wasn't a foul swoop that brought us to this point. It was decades of nudges to the left. I'm happy every time we nudge a little in the right direction.

Law Enforcement found it difficult to issue the Amber Alert at first because they didn't have a description of the baby to give out to the public.

I might be wrong, but isn't fetus Latin for 'little one'?

I thought "fetus" was just Latin for baby anyway.

They still kept refering to it as a fetus. The could have described it as a preterm newborn.
