Huckabee granted clemency to suspect in quadruple cop killer case in Wash state

2009-11-30T10:45:00.003-05:00

John Aravosis had this to say about the cop killings in Washington:

This is very bad.
Huckabee has a history of clemency gone wrong.
Let me remind you of a previous Huckabee clemency we wrote about two years ago:

Huckabee basically helped secure the guy's release because the convict had raped a distant relative of Bill Clinton - and being a distant relative of Bill Clinton, the right-wing attack machine said the woman who was raped wasn't credible (even though the guy was convicted), and they demanded that the rapist be set free because, after all, he only raped a Clinton. Well, it seems that Governor Huckabee agreed. He set the rapist free, and then the guy molested and murdered another woman. But even better? Huckabee now denies that he had anything to do with the release of the rapist/murderer. Funny, then why did Huckabee meet with the parole board on behalf of the rapist/murderer?

More on the cop killer story. It's a nasty story.

Magnets for fighting cancer?

2009-11-30T10:43:00.002-05:00

Tiny magnetic discs just a millionth of a meter in diameter could be used to used to kill cancer cells, according to a study published on Sunday.

Laboratory tests found the so-called "nanodiscs", around 60 billionths of a metre thick, could be used to disrupt the membranes of cancer cells, causing them to self-destruct.

The discs are made from an iron-nickel alloy, which move when subjected to a magnetic field, damaging the cancer cells, the report published in Nature Materials said.

You think?!

While, this isn't news ... it is interesting, however, the fact that yet another poll shows that the remaining wingnuts in the repugican party are far more nutty than just a few years ago.

Those who identify as repugicans today see themselves as more wingnut politically than those who said so during the last years of the shrub's cabal.

This is the challenge for repugicans.
How do you deal with the pressure in your own party to veer to the right, when by doing so, you risk alienating the very people who left your party because it veered too far to the right?

Like we care how the repugicans die off. Just so long as they continue to self destruct we won't loose any sleep over it.
