Fundies Launch Internet Raid On NIH
Religious fundamentalist groups have launched a huge email campaign to get people to write letters to the NIH opposing stem cell research. The public needs to go and make comments supporting it pronto!
Research on Human stem cells is vital to several lines of medical research. That particular research has a strong potential to cure diseases such as Parkinsons, Multiple Sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s Disease and may lead to a way to regrow destroyed nerve tissue.
Christopher Reeve may have walked again and might still be alive today, if this research had been available before the accident that left him paralyzed.
Religious groups are trying to stop the government from overturning a federal ban on this research by directing huge numbers of followers to make comments to the NIH. They might succeed if you don’t act to stop this outrage.
Go!

Good Question
Epic Quote of the Day

Twitter Is Funny
Okay. Twitternoob question.
Is it just me or are people funnier when posting on Twitter than those same people are when they write on other web sites (blogs or whatever)? I’ve laughed myself raw reading the shit I’ve found there since last night. The same people on their own web sites, not usually so funny.
Maybe it’s the max 140 characters thing.
This is me, FYI. Go Go Go.

War On Drugs Is Over?
White House Czar Calls for End to ‘War on Drugs’
President Obama’s new drug czar says the war is over. Now we’re going emphasize treatment instead of just throwing half the damn country in the clink.
I could just completely do an awkward man hug on both of them right now.
Except for the whole getting tackled by Secret Service thing…
