politoliticks
not a huge fan of mrs. clinton normally, but nicely done here. she uses a few unnecessary buzzwords ("values," in particular, has long since worn out its welcome), but her defense of evolution is both forceful and surprisingly nuanced for a politician. and the republican party's war on science in the last ten years since something that needs more attention in general.
minus points to the NYT, however, for the copy-pasted republican talking points at the end of the article. especially the last sentence. you lose when you state flat out that "Mr. Bush had made federal money available for stem cell research" without mentioning that his "funding" essentially amounts to fighting a forest fire with a bottle of water. incidentally, they also just plugged up the well, so you'd better make that bottle laaaaaaaast.
