Bush’s speech today

Filed under: Politics,Terrorism/War on Terror — Jaws @ 10:10 pm

So apparently Bush spoke at the Naval academy in Annapolis today.

Did I hear/see the speech–no…I was at work.

Can someone tell me basically what the President said? I just want the bare-bones facts–no spin, no editorializing, just the facts.

Does that exist on any websites out there (short of reading the text of the speech itself)?

An aside: Wasn’t one of the main objectives in liberating Iraq to help the Iraqis help themselves in terms of defending their country? That we would draw down our troop levels as the Iraqi forces stepped up?

Olfactory Stem Cells

This is another news story which contains content that I’d previously discussed here at my blog:

Surgeons attempt spinal repair using nasal cells

Our olfactory cells regenerate themselves every ~30 days or so. Hence the idea of using them as a stem cell type approach has promise at least in theory.

Did I not call this?

From Sunday my post on “Peace Mom” Cindy Sheehan’s apparent flop of a book signing: Location, Location, Location

Wherein I predicted she’d have more success with her book in “blue-er” areas of the country like NYC.

Well guess who is in NYC this evening?

Cindy Sheehan, tonight (11/30/05, 6:30PM) at Coliseum Books (11 W. 42nd St)

No, I’m not going. I’ve got plans to meet someone up on the UES tonight at 7 so it’s out of the question for me.

But did I not call this?
