8.2.2001 11:16 PM Sometime in the next 10 days, I will be stuffing my face with a yummy, sweet cream puff. That's because the Wisconsin State Fair is off and running. Sean Hackbarth | 10:55 PM Ross Mackenzie fills us in on Bill Clinton's activities for the past few months. "Bill is Back and Ready for Action" Sean Hackbarth | 10:08 PM With a new $100 million contract, Whitney Houston should be able to find a really good brownie recipe "Whitney Houston Inks $100M Deal" Sean Hackbarth | 8.1.2001 1:18 PM Think Gary Condit would have a troublesome Congressional campaign in 2002? Then consider William Kennedy Smith who had his own problems with women. He would have been a shoo-in in Massachusettes because those voters have experience electing a killer. But no late-night tv jokes over this one because Smith decided not to run for Congress. "William Kennedy Smith Rules Out 2002 Congress Run" Sean Hackbarth | 7.31.2001 11:59 PM The worst team in baseball, my Milwaukee Brewers, lost again. "Florida 5, Milwaukee 1" Sean Hackbarth | 7.30.2001 11:18 PM President Bush supports a ban on human cloning. In a statement, the administration said, "The administration unequivocally is opposed to the cloning of human beings either for reproduction or for research. The moral and ethical issues posed by human cloning are profound and cannot be ignored in the quest for scientific discovery." It also said, "The administration would strongly oppose any substitute amendment ... which would permit human embryos to be created and developed solely for research purposes." Although he supports a ban on human cloning, no mention is made of embryonic stem cell research. The policy statement could easily be applied to defend a ban on federal funding for such research. The debate over using human embryos as medical slaves also involve "moral and ethical issues" that "are profound and cannot be ignored in the quest for scientific discovery." Following the logic of the statement, embryonic stem cell research should be banned because it would "permit human embryos to be created and developed solely for research purposes." If President Bush comes out in support for embryonic stem cell research, he will have a tough time squaring that circle. "Bush Supports Ban on Human Cloning" Sean Hackbarth | 7.29.2001 11:16 PM Killer hooks, solid guitar crunch, a sprinkling of harmony, and touching lyrics make Jimmy Eat World's Bleed American the best new album I've heard in 2001. The eleven songs should all get on the radio to enliven the musical landscape and revive the power pop genre. "Jimmy Eat World Bleed American" Sean Hackbarth | |
