We need a name for the environmentalist-religious-socialists. They creep me out, too. Gaiatologists?

The stem cell BS: wow - what an advt. Slightly dishonest? Has no-one heard that embryonic stem cells cause cancer? And that there is a slight moral issue here?
Prayers for Cuba, NYC style. Sheesh. Sometimes there is just nothing to say.
Sees it like we do. Mr. Free Market on the global warming scam.
Scott at Powerline takes a look at racial preferences.Go, Scott:
The depth of the racial discrimination practiced in the university setting became evident in the two University of Michigan cases decided by the Supreme Court a few years back. In the undergraduate school, applicants for admission were simply sorted into different pools with lower admission standards if they identified themselves as African-American, Hispanic, or Native American, and higher standards if they identified themselves as white or members of non-preferred minority groups.
In the law school, the university rigged its standards year after year to achieve a minimum 10 percent quota of students from designated "underrepresented" minority groups (African American, Mexican American and Native American).
For years the university covered up the existence of the racial discrimination that it was practicing. Now it defends what it cannot conceal, and it does so in the name of "affirmative action" and "diversity."
The defense of racial preferences in the name of "affirmative action" and "diversity" has become part of contemporary civil rights orthodoxy and many purportedly sophisticated arguments have been advanced to justify them. Hillary Clinton has stated, in express disagreement with Martin Luther King's great 1963 speech on the Washington Mall, "If we don't take race as part of our character, then we are kidding ourselves."
