Ghoul: Others Must Die, So I May Be Healed

Yes, that's bitter, but I'm in a bad mood.

"Today is a new day. I could not be more thrilled to see President Obama live up to his commitment to get politics out of science. We have seen, for the past eight years, how much damage the opposite approach has done to science and patients," Fox said in a statement released to Access Hollywood.

"Now that the President has taken this critical action, I am excited by the prospect of American scientists carrying human embryonic stem cell research forward toward better treatments and cures that will affect countless millions of lives," the actor continued.

Of course, GWB's order only stopped federal funding of such research. Nothing prevented private research, so no one was stopping Fox from funding the research himself. I guess progress can only be made if I'm paying for it, though.

Moreover, right on cue the MSM trotted out pictures of actor Christopher Reeves sitting in his wheelchair while a voice over proclaimed the genius of Obambi for restoring some, and a very limited amount at that, funding.

The implication is, naturally, that IF the evil, bible-thumping Bush had allowed other types of research then Reeves would have jumped out of that wheelchair and walked again.

Only the truly stupid can believe such nonsense.
