I’m not that up on my inside baseball lefty blog drama. Hell, I don’t even have time to fully read all the blogs I used to (and some new ones). I stumbled upon – no, hell, it ran me over via IMs, text messages, and phone calls last night – a recent episode that I think is quite instructive in many ways.
The first thing I heard was that ModernEsquire had quit BSB over the actions of another front pager and site administrator (there are two). Of course, this floored me. I regard Modern as one of the best [...]
Full Story... →As Tim over at BI recently noted, a couple of ?grassroots? Republican groups are planning to hold a Tea Party rally in Columbus to protest the Governor?s proposed budget.
I just got a copy of a press release for the event and, according to the organizer Jack Boyle :
This rally will allow Ohioans to stand up to their lawmakers and say “Enough is enough!’?
Unfortunately for Jack and the 7 other people who might show up, the event is being held on March 14th ? a Saturday ? and none of the lawmakers will [...]

Full Story... →Following up on news of a likely GM bankruptcy and the imminent deminse of GM’s Hummer line of vehicles, the Dispatch decided to run with a story about some devoted Central Ohio Hummer owners.
Specifically a guy named Spike who traded in his Hummer for an Escalade. Then went back and bought back the Hummer (supposedly for his wife to drive) 3 days later because he decided he just couldn’t live life without two retardedly large vehicles.
The Dispatch was nice enough to include a video of Spike (and his super wicked mullet) driving his shiny beast [...]

Economic Crisis
Update: 379 points and not one single wingnut blogger gives Obama any credit. Strange, huh?
President Obama’s speech on education today causes stocks to rally to around a 300 point gain as of this writing. No wingnut blogs appear to be covering this news.
…or does he just get the credit when it goes down?
Full Story... →Great article. The big takeaway:
Though most federal grants go to academic researchers, biotech industry backers said the rule changes also could mean a windfall for private companies.
Michael West, chief executive of BioTime Inc., said he expected to see increased demand for the hundreds of stem cell lines sold by his Emeryville-based company.
More importantly to the industry, West said, private investors will be less afraid of putting their money into stem cell startups. Venture capitalists and big pharmaceutical companies in the past have been skittish about investing in stem cell companies out of fear that federal regulations [...]
Full Story... →Ron and Nancy Reagan applauded President Barack Hussein Obama’s decision to overturn the George W. Bush federal ban on embryonic stem cell research. Nancy gave the following statement:
“I’m very grateful that President Obama has lifted the restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. These new rules will now make it possible for scientists to move forward. I urge researchers to make use of the opportunities that are available to them, and to do all they can to fulfill the promise that stem cell research offers.
Countless people, suffering from many different diseases, stand to benefit from [...]

Full Story... →Obama Lifts Bush?s Strict Limits on Stem Cell Research
Pledging that his administration will ?make scientific decisions based on facts, not ideology,? President Obama on Monday lifted the Bush administration?s strict limits on human embryonic stem cell research.
Don?t Rely on Bush?s Signing Statements, Obama Orders
Calling into question the legitimacy of all the signing statements that former President George W. Bush used to challenge new laws, President Obama on Monday ordered executive officials to consult with Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. before relying on any of them to bypass a statute.
It’s a new day. Change [...]
