I can't say I understand the Journal Star's timing with their ongoing report on stem cell research issues. The Unicameral isn't discussing it; the Unicam isn't in session. The University of Nebraska Board of Regents isn't discussing it; they aren't likely to discuss it as long as federal policy doesn't change (i.e. until at least 2009). The topic won't really be important to the presidential candidates until January. So why is the LJS spending so much time talking about it now? Their efforts seem almost wasted relative to other windows of opportunity they could have taken advantage of.

There was a severe drop in the number of letters to the editor that at once proclaim it both a lefty rag and a conservative mouthpiece?
Fletch nailed it on the head wit that last one!

oh and W is gonna veto the stem cell bill just passed.
Yeah, didn’t think of that. Maybe they were aiming to time it with the giant bill that passed in Congress that was headed for the president.
