blog hotties

 

A week or so ago, DCup began posting a list of blog “hotties” … it’s a great lineup, but I think it’s time to present the female side of the spectrum. So as you listen to a tribute to them by Brian Setzer (and I particularly like the line “if you can dream, you can change the world) check out the hotties listed below!

Blue Gal– This blog-hottie — probably best known for her panties — is branching out! This Gal has created a community, and is one of the most generous bloggers on the planet!

Cap’n Dyke– Shiver me timbers, if you haven’t yet visited the good Cap’n what are you waiting for? She puts the “naughty” into nautical! And on Monday nights she can always be counted on to pour the grog.

DCup — A peek at her … blog… is all you need to understand why this woman is a blog-hottie! The stories about the spawn and her honey are wonderful reads … and about that little black dress!

Fran– This little blog-hottie just returned from her honeymoon! Woo hooooo! Better stop there …

Jess– She says she isn’t mysterious or exciting, but I beg to differ. This blog-hottie likes to read the naughty bits from the bible to street preachers. Sounds pretty darned exciting to me!

Karen– And last, but certainly not least, is a blog-hottie who leads by example. She gives us tips on how to save our planet, along with pictures of what we have to lose. She risks arrest to stand up for women’s rights, and is one heck of a great mom!

These women are hotties because they are smart, articulate, passionate, funny, and make this a better world simply by their presence.

clinton pledges to shield science from politics

The New York Times reports:

In a stinging critique of Bush administration science policy, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York said yesterday that if she were elected president she would require agency directors to show they were protecting science research from “political pressure” and that she would lift federal limits on stem cell research.

Good for Senator Clinton!  If elected, Clinton would reverse the harmful policies of the Bush administration.  

The Bush administration’s policy with regard to science in general, and stem cells in particular, have been disastrous for the health and well being of US citizens.  And, as Clinton notes:  

“When science is politicized, it is worse than wrong,” she said in the interview. “It is dangerous — dangerous for our democracy.”

Moreover, she said, “it is holding us back economically,” as other countries move forward in research in areas like stem cells and alternative energy, “creating high-wage jobs.”

The next president must safeguard separation of church and state.  We must have confidence that scientific research won’t be held hostage to the religious beliefs of one person.
