First my favorite news story quote:
In an article about Stem Cell Research finally going ahead, I read these words which made me smile:
"President Obama is expected to loosen the restrictions,
which many researchers and advocates have complained severely set back
work toward curing disease such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and
diabetes.
Okarma said Geron did not use any federal funding for its research, and that the Bush restrictions had "devastated the field."
"People didn't think this would happen for another five years," Okarma said. "But it will happen soon, and it would have happened sooner if it weren't for the ridiculous Bush policies."
Well, the last three made me smile...the rest made me mad...just think of all the people who could have been helped over the years if for the last eight years we didn't have an anti-intellectual dunderhead in the white house...
And second, my favorite quote from a song...I have not been an Eliza Carthy fan for a long time (maybe three or four years) but she write some fantastic lyrics...In a song called "Company of Men" from the CD "Angels and Cigarettes":
"I don't want to be one of the beautiful people, because beautiful people are boring..." :-) fabulous (so's the rest of the song--heck the rest of the CD...gop listen to it!)
