What I'm Up To

From LifeSiteNews.com:
"President George W. Bush has appointed a physician with close ties to the pro-life movement to supervise federal family-planning programs.
The President has named Dr. Eric Keroack to be the assistant secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. In that post he will supervise the disbursement of $283 million in annual federal grants to family-planning programs."
I've been saying for a while that George Bush is a horrible president, and is too occupied with the Iraq war to do anything to stop abortion, and that he isn't going to change.
Well, it looks like I might be wrong. This is defiantly a step in the right direction (though there is still a lot more that needs to be done); I applaud the president for taking it, and pray he keeps going.
For once, I wouldn't mind being wrong.
In other news, according to CNNMoney.com the U.S. mint is going to put out another 1$ coin. In fact, several of them:
"The Mint on Monday revealed the design of the new U.S. $1 coin, which will be issued in a series that will eventually include the faces of each U.S. president.
It will release four new presidential dollars each year, starting with George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in 2007. The Van Buren dollar will be released in 2008 and the Fillmore in 2010.
Richard M. Nixon, who resigned in disgrace in 1974 in the wake of the Watergate scandal, will appear on the coin in 2016."
Nixon on a coin? Awesome. I'll be making sure I get my hands on one of those.
No, I'm serious.
But who cares about me, what about everyone else in the U.S.? That's quite a move for the mint, considering the it didn't work so good when the Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea 1 dollar coins we released.
At the very least, it will be interesting to see how it pans out - and to collect the new coins.
