Superman would indeed have fought against the villian you describe. The fact is people like Reeves, Reagan, Jr. and Kerry have been lying about the results of embryoinc stem cell research.

Gay bishop dismisses Anglican reportGene Robinson creates God in his own image:
“We believe God didn’t stop revealing God’s self when the canon of Scripture was closed,” he said. “We worship a living God, not one who checked out 2,000 years ago.”
The Bible has been “hijacked by the religious right,” he said. “That is our Bible. It’s time we take it back.”
He continued, “I keep on saying to gay and lesbian people: Let’s reclaim this book. It is our story.”
For instance, the Old Testament book of Exodus is the “greatest coming-out story in the history of the world,” he said at a Sunday school forum.
The 57-year-old bishop, who is divorced with two daughters and living with his male lover, said he does not teach celibacy to unmarried heterosexual or homosexual couples but rather “responsibility in relationships.”
Acknowledging that his daughter, Jamie, had been living with her fiance before they were married, he said, “I can’t remember the last couple I married who weren’t living together.”
Kerry, Jackson tell blacks to ignore gay ‘marriage’ issue – it’s absolutely shocking how morally bankrupt and intellectually dishonest the Reverend is.
“How many of you — someone from your family — married somebody of the same sex?” Mr. Jackson asked of the congregation of about 500. After nobody raised a hand, he asked, “Then how did that get in the middle of the agenda?”
Black Christians are in very bad company with the abortionists and so-called gay rights supporters.
Hawaiian seawater, going for $6 a bottle
Desalinated deep-sea water from Kona is the state’s fastest-growing export, with demand soaring in Japan. Super-cold water sucked up from thousands of feet below the Pacific Ocean’s surface is being marketed as healthy, pure, mineral-rich drinking water.
Next we start exporting cheese to France.
Arming Beijing? – Scary!
Uncoated electoral illusions – Mark Steyn, my hero.
Mr. Edwards, on the other hand, driveling on like a Depression-era sob-sister about the “bright light” of America now “flickering” is one of the funniest acts I’ve seen in years.
My blood pressure is rising
My blood pressure is rising in anticipation of the second presidential debate tonight. I expect the same post-debate spin we’ve seen all week. I am positively dismayed at the bias in the media. Forget the pasting Cheney gave Edwards – according to the media Cheney was just an angry, old, tired-looking white man. The Duelfer report is published and the reports on it skewer this administration, yet what has been called the scoop of the year on Saddam’s WMD programs and connections to terrorists at CNSnews has been largely ignored. I know some of our readers are irked by the number of posts on this blog of late that seem to be only political, but there is a lot at stake in this election. In recent weeks the media has kept at the fore many of the issues that are not of the greatest importance to the cause of life. We as Catholic voters need to be informed on the issues and vote on them considering them in the proper moral proportion. Mark Shea posts a link to info about a book, The Five Issues That Matter Most: Catholics and the Upcoming Election. It looks like a great resource for us Catholics.
I also offer these links to give a balanced perspective on some of the other news issues of tha day.

“The Dream of Gerontius” by Cardinal John Henry Newman
I joked a few days ago about taking a break from the daily news by listening to “The Dream of Gerontius” several times in an afternoon. I assure you that listening to it would have been time well spent. If you don’t have the gumption to get a recording of it, follow the link to the poem. It might take you a hour to read, probably less.
Edward Elgar took Newman’s poem and turned it into an oratorio. John posted some tidbits about it a couple of years ago.
It’s a story of a man who dies and is led by his guardian angel to his judgement. I won’t give away the surprise ending. But this part, which is the Angel of the Agony pleading with Jesus for mercy, is very moving:
JESU! by that shuddering dread which fell on Thee;
Jesu! by that cold dismay which sickened Thee;
Jesu! by that pang of heart which thrilled in Thee;
Jesu! by that mount of sins which crippled Thee;
Jesul by that sense of guilt which stifled Thee;
Jesu! by that innocence which girdled Thee;
Jesu! by that sanctity which reigned in Thee;
Jesu! by that Godhead which was one with Thee;
Jesu! spare these souls which are so dear to Thee,
Who in prison, calm and patient, wait for Thee;
Hasten, Lord, their hour, and bid them come to Thee,
To that glorious Home, where they shall ever gaze on Thee.

An Op-ed piece by George J. Marlin. It seems that Catholic voters might decide this election. Definitely worth reading the whole thing.
