Study: Stem Cells Reverse Paralysis in Rats The above press release from Live Science fails the logic test.  The conclusion trumpeted at the end of the article is not supported by the evidence provided.  Here are the relevant portions: Transplanted adult stem cells have been found to reverse paralysis associated with spinal cord injuries in […]

Bush Had the Right Approach

| January 30, 2009

In a time of clear and obvious crisis, after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the attempted attack on another Washington target, President Bush presented a message of hope and optimism to the American public.  His message was unifying and reassuring to the population.  It was a great message that […]

Idealogues Don’t Agree

| January 30, 2009

An idealogue is someone who carries strong convictions of their ideas or beliefs.

I read something this morning that truly tickled me … almost to the point of laughing out loud. At the time I said to myself, “Now that’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all day! Well, except for that guy I heard on XM Radio’s Laugh USA channel and that comment I made earlier this morning, […]

CNN Admits Electric Cars are Foolish Pursuit

| January 17, 2009

They are essentially saying that electric cars don’t make good financial sense, and won’t do so in our lifetimes, but they still think that governments should spend billions upon billions to push them through anyway.

The Argument for a Smaller Government

| January 7, 2009

I’m saying that liberals ARE anti-American in that America stands for liberty and free markets (at least that’s how we were founded) and liberals are very much against that. They really desire slavery, which, by definition, is the forced labor of one person for the benefit of someone else.
