Great – and, for anyone following the stunning medical advances being made thanks to ADULT Stem Cell Research – unsurprising news on the Parkinson’s front. Just as numerous spinal cord injuries are being successfully treated with ASC taken from nasal cavities, it looks there sufferers of Parkinson’s Disease may be helped, too. SYDNEY, Australia, June 12, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – New research on stem-cell therapy shows scientists have found that the cure for Parkinson’s disease may lie right under one’s nose... Read more
Yes – the fat man speaks from the grave and sums up our two candidates: “There are two kinds of peacemakers in the modern world; and they are both, though in various ways, a nuisance. The first peacemaker is the man who goes about saying that he agrees with everybody. He confuses everybody. The second peacemaker is the man who goes about saying that everybody agrees with him. He enrages everybody. Between the two of them they produce a hundred... Read more
If you’re like me, with a Father-in-Law who is not interested in clothes, doesn’t need (or want) another watch and likes his old wallet just fine, what are you supposed to do?

And people are getting killed Today Dems rejected a plan to open US waters to drilling. Yes, it really does seem like the Dems are, as Ace writes here: “…united on the principle that nothing shall be done to lower the cost of oil.

From here on in, I’ve got my mantra. When I vote against... Read more
“In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.” — Dorothy Sayers (H/T Reader Lynne) Read more
Some scientists think the “warming trend” which (despite the fact that we’re having our usual early-June heatwaves) has stalled out over the past few years was helped along by sunspots. And lately, there aren’t any. The scientists said periods of inactivity are normal for the sun, but this period has gone on longer than usual. “It continues to be dead,” said Saku Tsuneta with the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, program manager for the Hinode solar mission. “That’s a small...
