Pelosi is Funny After All

Leveling the Praying Field - TIME: "'We talk about ways people of faith have gone wrong in the past, what they have done right and where they see it going in the future,' says [Obama's] faith-outreach adviser, Joshua DuBois. Speeches on everything from the budget to immigration to stem-cell research are carefully marinated in Scripture. 'Science is a gift of God to all of us,' said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during a debate on increased embryo-research funding, 'and science has taken us to a place that is biblical in its power to cure.' "

This is hysterical. To hear politicians parsing faith to get attention is dreadful, especially when you are mixing the idea of science and faith, which have been so ridiculously at odds. If I can see through this, chances are 'life'ers will too. They do not like the idea of science taking life, no matter how minute and it is unlikely that they will take their moral guidance from a politician.
