"Do people really read these things?�� I mean, other than those of us here who laugh at them?"

NIH Peer-Review Controversy: During consideration of the FY 2004 L/HHS/Education appropriations bill on the House floor an amendment offered by Rep. Pat Toomey (R-PA) to prohibit the NIH from funding five specific research grants was narrowly defeated, 210-212.�� The amendment challenged the peer review process at the NIH and required that funding for these grants, including three of the five that were sexual health-related research grants, be redirected toward other research, such as heart disease or cancer. In anticipation of possible Senate consideration of a similar amendment, the Academy joined with over 145 others in the research community - including ACOG, AAFP, AAMC - in a sign-on letter supporting the NIH's merit review process. Fortunately, the Senate did not take up this amendment during its floor deliberations. However, this issue is far from over.�� Following an October joint House/Senate hearing, NIH Director, Dr. Elias Zerhouni, has been asked to provide a response to several questions submitted by Congress on almost 150 grants that were deemed questionable by some members of Congress.

The several congressional committees are considering holding hearings on NIH in general and possibly this issue in particular during the second session of the 108^th Congress.�� The pediatric academic societies joined the AAP in sending its own letter supporting the peer review process to Congress in December.�� At the AMA interim meeting in early December, the House of Delegates approved a resolution supporting the NIH peer review process and recommended its support be conveyed to Congress.

Any polling data out there?

It's been a long time since we've gotten any fresh polling data. Is there any news out there?

If Kenny were to become governor

(and I don't believe there's any legal way he can do it and very few illegal ways anymore), this state plummet below Alabama almost immediately. I wonder what his followers would say in light of a catastrophic explosion of job losses, health care loss, bankruptcies, foreclosures, businesses closing and so on. I wonder what Kenny's excuse would be. But I truly do not believe this scenario is going to happen, and the more he pulls this kind of stuff, he assures it. That "embarassingly large number" of people who will "lap up" what he is selling shrinks daily and won't be enough to carry the state for him. If Strickland were running this kind of campaign, all the newspapers in the state would be declaring him dead in the water.

I'll grant that its idiotic

but somehow I have this feeling that there are an embarassingly large number of people in this state that just lap this kind of crap up. I can't begin to say how much I hope we can manage to keep Krazy Kenny out of the statehouse. Ohio is in bad enough shape as it is, having him running the show (complete with R majorities in the house and senate) would come pretty close to completing the transformation of Ohio into the Alabama of the north.

Actually, what I think is

Actually, what I think is most damning about that post on Blackwell's blog is the fact that nearly every hyperlinked phrase simply goes back to Blackwell's blog.�� Remember that thing we learned in school about never define a word with the word itself?�� Likewise, when you're trying to make a point, you can't point back to yourself as the authority for the point?�� You need to find some neutral (or relatively objective) third party in order to make your assertions credible?�� That's where I think the real damage, and echo, is, to Blackwell's attempts - or maybe I should say to Mr. Naugle's.�� Matt, come on - if you have the support somewhere - other than in your blog, use it.�� Otherwise, it's just circuitous reasoning.

That

Muffet — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 18:23:06 -0700

is one of the stupider posts I've seen.�� Do people really read these things?�� I mean, other than those of us here who laugh at them?

Wow...

Thats all I can say.

Yeah, you read that right. Ken Blackwell has officially gone off the deep end

These people are nuts. At some point they must start to become embarrassed for themselves, lord knows they are embarrassing Ohio with this garbage.
