Good News Thanksgiving
My regular blog-state is one of annoyed bitchiness, as you know, over all the aggravations, outrages, and horror that marks so much of the news today. But there's been a little bit of good news around lately that's worth noting. I figure Thanksgiving is as good a day as any to pretend like this stuff actually outweighs the truly crap fair measure of the world.

As you may have heard, a breakthrough has taught scientists how to engineer cells with all the characteristics of embryonic stem cells, though without the business of creating and destroying an embryo to procure them. If things shake out like they're predicted, stem cell research can continue without the overhang of that ethical debate.

And, uh.... well ok that's the only good news I can find. Help me out in comments. Any good news out there?
