US stem cell funding freeze lifted – for now

Clearly I know absolutely nothing about the Gregory Koger/Sunsara Taylor incident, so I'm keeping quiet.

Christopher Hitchens showed plenty of spunk and energy in a debate ...

Superman.

@ Christopher
"comment number 56 by Doctorlogic"

Dr. Logic does not give any sources, and starts out with the statement, "from what I hear". So this judgement is being based on hearesay?

He's also using loaded language ("heavies" and "sinister"). Perhaps he's justified in using this language, but I'd certainly need to more than the word of somebody's blog comment.

Note: He "assumes" Koger had a jury trial - so it's not like he's even following the case very closely.

Oh snap, that's right! And she's all about research too! AND ALL BRAIN DAMAGE IS AUTISM! My mind! She is blown!

Science did that yesterday, didn't it? Yes, yes they did.
Shut up Jenny McCarthy.

Have a good time Christopher, say hello to the wife.

Comment by Christopher on September 8, 2010 at 8:16am

Which is one of the reasons I love this group. I'd forgotten to add, I'm going out of town for about a week. My wife has yet to go to Gruene Hall or the Alamo, and those are absolute requirements for citizenship here, so away we go.

I usually read Ed Brayton's Dispatches From The Culture Wars blog as well, just because it touches on politics and the law much more frequently, but Ed has a huge achilis heal when it comes to law enforcement related issues, frequently goes off half cocked on issues he just doesn't know anything about, and I've bitch slapped him about three or four times. By "bitch slapped" I mean, I compared his post to those by people who push intelligent design and make themselves look like idiots because they just don't know anywhere near enough about evolution to construct an informed opinion on it. It hasn't swayed Ed, though. He just, evidently, has some irrational blind spot in that area. So I'm used to it from Ed, but when PZ did it, my jaw hit the floor. WTF?? Made me wonder if PZ's not all the way back to full function, from the meds and the recent surgery. You dont really need to research anything that much before posting it here, because if the issue needs slapping around, these fuckers round here will bitch slap it in a heartbeat.

You guys are great

I had not heard about the Gregory Koger incident until I saw PZ's post yesterday. I was hoping that someone would have more information, since I had not had the time to do any research.

Thanks for clarifying. The way PZ makes it sound, is not at all like the reality.

Thank you for pointing out comment #56, Christopher.

I really should have done my homework before I posted it. It was a spur of the moment thing. I'm sorry for the lack of critical thinking.
The logical fallacy was argument from authority and I should have known better.

The information is appreciated.

cheers
