Circumcision cuts cervical cancer rates. Women whose partners are circumcised can be half as likely to develop cervical cancer, a new study finds [New Scientist] Good news for the open air crowd. No smegma means better health for the babe.   Cheers,   Dusty 9:49:27 PM

Bush's Clone Ban Plan Irrelevant. President Bush is pressuring the Senate to pass a bill that would completely prohibit human cloning. But experts say a ban in the U.S. will not prevent scientists from moving forward with human cloning in other countries. By Kristen Philipkoski. [Wired News] Let's face it, except to his corporate masters, everything about our Commander-in-Thief is pretty much irrelevant. How surprising can it be that this dim bulb just doesn't get it?

Court Weighs Opening of an Immigration Hearing. A federal appeals court will review a lower court's decision to open an immigration hearing for a man seized in the government's terrorism sweep to the media. By Danny Hakim. [New York Times: National] We told you about the sensible ruling handed down by a federal judge in Detroit last week. Of course, the Bush administration has appealed. We’ll have to wait and see if their asinine arguments make any more sense to the next level. Thing is, they already know they'll get their way if it reaches the SCoUS.   Cheers,   Dusty 9:44:52 PM

Runaway Jet Rolls Into Los Angeles Street. A parked jetliner waiting for maintenance began rolling and smashed through an airport fence on Wednesday, before coming to a stop with its nose blocking a side street. By The Associated Press. [New York Times: National] This is what happens when you forget to set your parking brake. Actually, in addition to parking brakes, large wooden wheel blocks are usually used to keep stationary jets stationary. Not this time, apparently. Cheers, Dusty 9:41:36 PM

Environmentalists Had 48 Hours to Comment to Energy Dept.. Energy Department officials gave 11 environmental groups just 48 hours to submit their proposals for consideration in Vice President Dick Cheney's national energy report last year. By Don Van Natta Jr.. [New York Times: National] Gosh, I can’t tell you how surprised I am that those lying rat bastards that infest the White House gave only 48 hrs for environmental groups to offer feedback to their “energy plan,” in reality a document written for the Bush toadies by their petrochemical corporate masters.   Cheers,   Dusty   9:39:35 PM
