something positive for a change (in spite of bush's efforts!)

Breaking: House Passes real Stem Cell Research Bill

Interesting. Watching C-SPAN...House passed the real stem cell bill (Castle/DeGette) by a 238 - 194 margin.

Tom DeLay and George Bush both lobbied hard against this bill -- on ethical and moral grounds. (Yes, consider the sources)

Think about this one: During his speech today, Bush actually had the gonads to say: "We should not use public money to support the further destruction of human life." Yeah, that's his policy.

And, wow, the folks who called in to C-SPAN opposing the bill -- and supporting Bush and DeLay -- are real nut jobs.

Wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that Korea is making advances in this field and bush & co. are doing their best to hold us back?
How can bush say such a ridiculous quote with a straight face?! How much have we spent (in "public money") so far in Iraq, a war that has been proven over & over to be based on lies?! And he wants to oppose life-saving research? That is beyond hypocritical!
