I detect a hint of concern from some Dems who may be realizing Iraq is not the magical election issue they thought it was. When Sen Clinton (who has an army of smart, observant political consultants at her fingertips) hedges on Iraq something must be up: But she also added some notably optimistic comments about […]

As an addendum to my post below on Michael Barone’s analysis of the decay of the Democrat enclaves in America we must add this piece by E.J. Dionne (who I never read anymore) on the electorial pounding the left is taking world-wide: Is Europe moving right? Is the democratic left in trouble? The decisive victory […]

I propose a gag rule on the Democrats I know they will not like, but any decent American should require. The idea comes from Rep Senator Jim Bunning: Americans on the front lines of a war and political poll numbers do not ever belong in the same sentence. Too true. Watching the Dems salivate at […]

Are the wheels falling off al Qaeda’s efforts in Iraq? Let’s just say I am not seeing confidence in the rampant killing of Muslims that al Qaeda is embarking on. Like all fascists, the Islamo Fascists come down hard and violently when they feel their power being threatened. And the bombings in Anbar (Ramadi) and […]

One needs to only look at today’s so called claim of ESCR success (one which is well behind similar results in heart patients from ASCR therapies) to understand why embryos are the desired sources for spare parts: “We have developed for the first time a simple and highly scalable source of human hemangioblasts,” stated Shi-Jiang […]

Answer: All of them: PrimeCell Therapeutics’ researchers have taken adult stem cells from mouse testes, the germ line, and reprogrammed them to exhibit pluripotentiality – the ability to transform into any other cell type in the body.

OK, this in some ominous news from the Iran-Iraq border: A source within the Kurdish peshmerga militia – which allied itself with the US-led coalition in the 2003 war and serves as the main security force for the Kurdistan regional government – added that “intelligence acquired by the local authorities shows that Ansar al-Islam and […]

Al Qaeda and its sister Islamo Fascist groups are now in pitched battles against the very Muslims ready to fight for a free and democratic Iraq. The SurrenderMedia has yet to ‘connect the dots’ but the Iraqis are not so slow and are very clear about what is happening: Two suicide car bombers killed 20 […]
