Rumor has it that the Trib is affiliated with the LA Times. As such, the full article cannot be posted. However, reading the full article is instructive, because I did not know this before:

Some opponents of abortion say Bush should have tried to stop all funding of work using embryos and fetuses. Bush signaled his position in 2000, responding to a candidate questionnaire from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. "I oppose using federal funds to perform fetal tissue research from induced abortions," he wrote. Some conservatives expect him to honor that.

Honoring a pledge? Ha ha! Those conservatives are suckers. Either Bush did not know about the law, in which case he is a dunce. Or, he doesn't care one way or the other, in which case he is not really a conservative. Well, who didn't know that?

I posted part of the article about Bush being unable to stop funding closer to the beginning of the thread, but it does no good. It's as though the people are so emotionally against abortion/stem cell research that they are blinded or have no common sense. It won't win them any converts.

Oh transcripts where are thou?

Speaking of transcript....I was listening to an interview the other day, on NPR of all places. After a particular comment was made, the interviewer said, "And by the way, for those of you reading this on transcript, there was much irony in [the interviewee]'s voice when he made the last comment." - and the interviewee made a noise of agreement.
