There ya go.
So, I figured it wasn’t true, first I heard of it. Yeah, I knew they were stupid enough to mount a Congressional investigation of Planned Parenthood. Didn’t know they actually titled those things. Read this: Planned Parenthood Exposed: Examining the Horrific Abortion Practices at the Nation’s Largest Abortion Provider.
Oh, OK. So, we’re gonna get a sober unbiased examination of the facts, without any prejudicial insinuations, or anything. Groovy.
They have also neglected to invite anyone from Planned Parenthood to their little party. Because why should they let their views be challenged? That might indicate that this whole thing is a waste of taxpayer money and we can’t have that.
Huckabee thinks that the Dred Scott decision is the law of the land that has been ignored. So Kim Davis can continue ignoring laws if she wants to.
Huckabee may be ignorant, or evil, or some combination, but can we all just stand back and admire this work of art?
“We don’t need the Supreme Court when we have the Supreme Being.”
That slogan made this whole Kim Davis stupidity worth it. I don’t know if it’s from Huckabee, his supporters, or it’s far older and I’m just noticing it now. Makes me kinda jealous. Liberals don’t have fun slogans like that. “No blood for oil” was the last good one.
As a culture we need an agreed upon definition of porn. I can’t remember where I stole this, but the best I’ve seen is this: porn is anything you immediately lose interest in after you masturbate.
That’s pretty good.
The first ten minutes of porno, all I want.is to go home and screw. Twenty. minutes and I never want to screw.again as long as I live

That’s even better.
Aw, that’s cute, is Michael Stipe going to start crying, LOL
Shut the hell up, you blister on the ass of life.
Tennessee mom (the story does not say she is a Republican, but, you know . . .) wants The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks banned from public schools as “pornographic.”
A side note on the HeLa cells. These cells have contaminated hundreds (maybe more) of cell lines, and much research was simply wrong, because instead of the cells they thought they were using, the research was actually on HeLa cells instead. And don’t feel bad if you never heard this, many cancer researchers hadn’t either.
It’s a huge, and very quiet disaster that happened to research, and nobody actually knows how bad it is.
Also, trivia thing, because of the amount of time and the huge amount of cells grown and used, Henrietta Lacks cancer cells would collectively be the largest organism in the history of the world.
We now return you to the perpetual ignorance that is the right wing of the Republican party

It’s more disturbing when you realize that the one he claims to be the Supreme Being is, depending on how you look at it, either basically a fictitious Supreme Being or not actually on “their” side.
I mean, if someone said that, and then insisted said Supreme Being was a dentist in Irvine named Bob, it would just be creepy, right? Well, these guys aren’t really much better than that.

Actually this shows that there is always a bit of exaggeration in the popular press to get a good headline. And then when one reads further one notices how the headlines miss that in reality it is not a secret anymore.
Sure, the problem is serious now in this scientific area but one can see a bit of “Piltdown man” rhetoric in this side note, Looking at a historical example it is indeed true that early paleontologists were misled by the Piltdown fraud, but as science progressed Piltdown man stuck out like a sore thumb, the evolution path it showed was at odds with what other more complete set of bones showed later, so as the suspicion grew then new tools allowed scientists to test the Piltdown bones and they found that it was a fake.
So it was an issue that indeed was embarrassing but creationists in that case appear to be stuck into forever repeating it, and creationists also do ignore forever the progress made after the screw up, and pseudo scientists also ignore that scientists were also the ones that came with the debunking and the remedies to avoid that.
We should indeed take into account the contamination and press for the changes, and getting back to the cell contamination one should be aware that it is really not a secret anymore among the experts, and the changes are already taking place.

Winds of Change
A global correction for cell line science has begun. In 2012, Korch, Masters and 16 other scientists formed the International Cell Line Authentication Committee (ICLAC). They agreed on STR fingerprinting as the global standard for authenticating cell lines. The committee also set up a public database (found at iclac.org) of all known false lines, which numbers more than 400.
Recently, the top four cell line repositories, in America, Germany and Japan, made plans to merge their online databases of cell lines validated through STR fingerprinting, with each fingerprint converted to a searchable genetic “bar code.” The consortium’s online tool (known as OSTRA, for Online STR Analysis) can be accessed online.As of this writing, at least 22 journals now require cell line authentication from authors. Norbert Fusenig, the Germany-based associate editor of the International Journal of Cancer, notes that the journal has had a steady increase in submissions since 2012, when it began to require authentication. “Our impact factor, a common measure of a journal’s success, has increased,” he says.

Not sure if you are unaware of the Church of the Sub-genius, but if so, Bob is actually the mythical leader of a religion. (warning, link not safe for anyone)

Nah, and if you knew the story in the actual science fields, it’s actually much worse than you will find in the press.
With genetic sequencing we are able to test cells now, and research back to the sixties has been found to be bogus, due to using HeLa cells instead of what they thought were HEK 293. Among other horrible disasters being uncovered.
It’s a huge clusterfuck for science. It was known about for decades, but research into the problem highly resisted, for many reasons. It’s also all the Republicans fault.

Yes (not the Republican bit, but remembering how many support big farma one wonders), but the point stands, that is not a permanent thing. The other point is that it does indeed look like your idea is to keep on pressing the clusterfuck and to ignore the changes that are taking place.
The Republicans are holding hearings on Planned Parenthood, inviting all of the usual anti-abortion talking heads. But they have apparently “forgotten” to invite anyone from Planned Parenthood.
Republicans have found that, when discussing issues of women’s health and women’s bodies, it’s never a good idea to invite those most centrally concerned to talk.

Republicanswant to deny us all slack.
Representative from Wisconsin is a fucking idiot.
When told that 60% of Planned Parenthood’s clients have children he said
How can they be the mothers of the children when children are aborted through Planned Parenthood?
because he’s so dumb he can’t hold two thoughts in his head at once. Like how you can fund PP AND feed hungry children at the same time.
I take that back. I looks like he can’t hold on single, solitary thought in that empty noggin of his.
