FDA claims stem cells are a drug…
The bizarre controversy revolves around the FDA’s attempt to regulate the Centeno-Schultz Clinic in Colorado that performs a nonsurgical stem-cell therapy called Regenexx-C. It is designed to treat moderate to severe joint, tendon, ligament, and bone pain using only adult stem cells. Doctors draw your blood, spin it through a centrifuge, extract the stem cells and re-inject them into your damaged joints. It uses no other drugs. No drugs means no FDA oversight and that does not sit well with the administration.
“Venerable” Old Politics on the Newt Frontier…
The Speaker comes here to Florida, wants to spend untold amount of money having a colony on the moon. I know it’s very exciting on the Space Coast. In South Carolina, it was a new interstate highway, and dredging the port in Charleston. In New Hampshire, it was burying a power line coming in from Canada and building a new VA hospital in New Hampshire so that people don’t have to go to Boston. Look, this idea of going state to state and promising what people want to hear, promising billions, hundreds of billions of dollars to make people happy, that’s what got us into the trouble we’re in now.
No kidding. Is this the same Mitt Romney who went to the Iowa cornfields last year, plighting his troth to subsidies for ethanol? “I support the subsidy of ethanol,” he said. “I believe ethanol is an important part of our energy solution for this country.” That was in May. By October he was saying, “I’ve indicated I didn’t think the subsidy had to go on forever.”The subsidies would expire in December, but “I might have looked at more of a decline over time,” Romney said, because of “the importance of ethanol as a domestic fuel.”
Double oof!
BILL MOYERS: How big banks are rewriting the rules of our economy…
“I’m quite surprised the political establishment would listen to groups that have been so discredited … It wasn’t that there was one or two or institutions that, you know, got carried away and did stupid things. It was, we all did… And then the whole system came down.” – former Citigroup chairman John Reed
In lampooning rich Romney, Jon Stewart’s rare show of hypocrisy lights up cable TV…
Stewart is also estimated to have a net worth of $80 million. Depending on how he is invested, he is also earning a substantial income from his $80 million nest egg. Even if he is invested conservatively, he’s likely earning investment income of $4 million per year, which would be taxed at a rate equal to Romney’s. Indeed, between investment income and book royalties, and his salary, more than likely Stewart earns more money in the fiscal year than Romney despite paying a marginally higher tax rate.
Files in these categories which Romney was granted permission to destroy covered the years 1991-2006, which meant that they covered records generated by governors before Romney and also during Romney’s 2003-2007 term.
PROMISE THE MOON!
Neal DeGrasse Tyson shoots down the Newtanaut’s moon base idea…
Gingrich heads for crash-landing after Florida debate… “Twitter was the place for the mocking majority, where new Gingrich slogans (‘To infinity . . . and beyond!’) mashed about with observations that all of a sudden, Ron Paul seems very, very normal.”
“I fought cancer my entire life. I’m going to keep fighting this,” he said. “I’m not going to not give back just because my school says no.”
Gaskins’ mother, Christa Plante, says she supports her son’s effort “100 percent.”
Facebook users seeking to draft Jon Stewart to moderate presidential debate…
HoT FLASHBACK: “Can we get Stewart and Stephen Colbert to jointly moderate one of these presidential debates? I can only fathom the results of such a public dialog moderated by arguably the two most trusted media commentators in a generation.”
