finally broadway is taking the tom moody demographic seriously. this makes sweeney todd seem like, um, musical theatre? angela lansbury eat your heart out, or at least let somebody else do it.

Tucker also excelled at ending things. In 1997, after 22 years of directing her beloved institution, she did another thing people don't do much: She voluntarily stepped aside. Nudge-nudge, museum people everywhere, and I suppose also art critics. Like I said, Tucker was a hero.

how feasible is it that farmers are going to be using cloned animals for milk and meat production? i wouldn't think that would even be an option, cost-wise. but still, it's a little unsettling to have it going for FDA approval since there must be a lot more in the works for this kind of thing if it's going through. very creepy.
According to Bush at today's presser, a timetable equals defeat, but a series of benchmarks of things that have to be accomplished with specified deadlines of when they have to be completed is something that will help us acheive victory.

Intelligent design, the concept that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection, is a controversial topic sparking disparate views across the nation. An overwhelming majority of the scientific community views intelligent design as pseudoscience. The U.S. National Academy of Sciences has stated that intelligent design "and other claims of supernatural intervention in the origin of life" are not science because they cannot be tested by experiment, do not generate any predictions and propose no new hypotheses of their own.
