Today is the anniversary of the very first presidential veto. Blogger Eric Langborgh marks the occassion by comparing the George who issued the first veto in 1792 with the George who has yet to issue a veto five-plus years into his presidency in 2006. George, Bush not Washington, just can't say no. One has to go back to the 1820s to find such a lengthy period of "yes men" occupying the Oval Office. Langborgh asks: "Has there really been no legislation passed by the 107th and 108th Congresses that violated the Constitution or simple common sense?"

Our current George becomes more of an embarassment with every passing day and his administration might be the reason why a third party takes off.
