and meanwhile Rush, class act that he is, weighs in with the pronouncement that Michael J Fox is faking it, or deliberately didn’t take his meds to as to milk maximum sympathy, or something.

What the hell is wrong with some people? I mean, seriously. Finally? What?

Those of us in Cardinal Nation couldn’t help noticing that the Cardinals beat the Tigers in Jeff Suppan’s last game—the one during which this ad premiered, I believe—but Suppan was ineffective and didn’t get the win. Obviously, God is a Redbirds fan who supports stem-cell research.

By the way, a sign in the stands after Jeff’s MVP performance in the playoffs said “CLONE SUPPAN.” Heh.

I prefer “misour-ee” myself, then again, I’m the odd one in my family. I really can’t believe the lows that these people will go to. On shitty video no less. A YouTuber could have made a better video than that.

I can’t even articulate comments on those idiots, but I noticed something about the MJFox ad – he says Missour-ee the first time, and Missour-ah the second. Nice way of catching both sides of the state! Whoever wrote it was quite smart about that. (yeah, people in the state actually feel strongly about the pronunciation both ways)

I haven’t been this moved since the President’s wife from “Independence Day” (Margaret Colin) explained that her life really had been touched because a friend of hers, who isn’t her, had died of some severe disease, and she still wouldn’t harm a nonexistant hair on the nonexistant head of a little clump of discarded cells to save him.

Margaret Colin played Jeff Goldblum’s estranged wife and was a top aide to President Bill Pullman. Mary McDonnell played the president’s wife (the one who died). I’m pretty sure McDonnell wouldn’t speak up in public re: stem cell research, particularly not against it. Everything I’ve heard about her suggests she’s very liberal. It’s only the character she plays on TV who forces women who want to stay pregnant to abort and women who want to abort to stay pregnant. And throws people out of airlocks, and orders assassinations, and steals babies and elections. But, to be fair, also stands up to a military coup, and helps organise a resistance, and other cool stuff. Which doesn’t actually make up for the other shit, but makes her multifaceted. Laura Roslin is totally kickass, but I wouldn’t turn my back on her.

Sorry, where was I? Just, you know, Friday, so BSG is on my mind. Anyway Mary McDonnell is apparently pretty darn liberal in real life. Don’t know anything about Margaret Colin’s politics, or didn’t until just now. Ya know, maybe whoever interviewed her about that touching story where her friend died of a disease that might be cured by stem-cell research and she STILL thought the snowflake embryos must be protected, maybe that reporter should track down the immediate family of her dead friend and ask what THEY think on hte subject.

Wow. 5 scraping the bottom of the Z-list, able bodied healthy celebrities telling me they don’t give a fuck about medical research because they can afford really good doctors is going to affect my vote.

Why are these jerks trying to get in the way of the free market? If a woman wants to sell her eggs, she should be allowed to. ;)

And at the risk of sounding crass, I’m not really sure that the five-six women who have died from complications of donating eggs to fertility critics can really be compared to the thousands of people who die every year from Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Dear James Caviezel:

You only played Jesus in a movie. You are not actually the Son of God, and your words are not divine pronouncements.

Is there anyone more qualified to speak out on fertility and science issues than professional sportsmen and actors? The actors at least know how to memorize someone else’s script convincingly but Caviezel especially seems really creepy, like he’s under the effects of some mind-control device or something.
