It's no secret here that I think the Bush clan is the scourge of the earth and that their politics were waaaaaay too influenced by religion. (What's that bit about separation of church and state again?) Today Obama took a step in reversing their idiocy and lifted the ban on stem cell research, to which I give a heartfelt AMEN!

I never understood how Bush was able to finagle that crap in the first place. I mean, yes, I get that the pro-lifers were up in arms (to say nothing of their monetary influence), but let's look at the ROI for it. Take one embryo and you get stem cell research that stands to benefit all of mankind. I think even Jesus would back ya on that one, guys - with the whole "selfless giving up of his life" being his m.o. an' all... Shoot, they could hit up crazies like octomom and kill two birds with one stone. Have a surplus of embryos? Don't want to raise 14 kids? Thinking 8 babies may be a bit much? Then donate your embryos to science!

I think I smell a great ad campaign...
