silly patty! stem cells are for curing kids
The stem-cell research ad battle in Missouri: almost as much fun as a vice president shooting some guy in the face. First there was Rush Limbaugh calling Michael J. Fox too Parky in his ad supporting the pro-stem-cell candidate. Then came the response ad featuring movie-Jesus Jim Caviezel speaking Aramaic (why, exactly, is he still speaking in a way-dead language? I mean, he knows he's only movie-Jesus and not Jesus-Jesus, right?) along with testimonials from a couple of St. Louis athletes, including pitcher Jeff Suppan, scheduled to start in tonight's World Series game--but oh yeah, the game was rained out, suggesting that a higher power may indeed be weighing in on this issue.
But let's focus for a moment on the other star of that ad: Patricia Heaton. I blogged about her a couple years back here. Then she was starring in creepy telemovies and honorarily chairing the group "Feminists for Life." Now she's attacking the scientists who actually have a chance at saving real lives. Also she seems to think that in the not-too-distant future Earth will be overrun by marauding clone-monsters who will force poor women to donate eggs to them. Or something like that.
