Convictions ...

Seems there's a big hubbub on the Right about Barry speaking at Notre Dame. The god folks have a problem with his allowing federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, don'tcha know. As ususal, something that comes out of a church or the Republican Party (hard to tell 'em apart nowadays) is noise bordering on hypocrisy. Attaturk:

...

Once again, I say, when Notre Dame decides it will not recruit that baptist/muslim/buddhist kid from Georgia that runs a 4.35 forty and whose girlfriend just had the abortion, I'll start to worry about their convictions.

Yes, we have to stand by our convictions, one of which is embryos that might be used to help people are a blasphemy, yet God is happy if they become medical waste (except if it's detrimental to the football program because, we all know, God loves him some Irish). I don't get it but that's why I gave up listening to anything coming from god's mouthpieces a long time ago.

Off to work ...
