Schwarzenegger gives $150M stem cell loan
and he's not the only one....
I'm glad some states are stepping up to the plate on this.

4. I agree it's good.
But, I can just see some predatory lending going on. Get it? "Predator(y)" :eyes:

6. If it helps, it helps.
That it's probably pissing off bush is tasty icing on the cake.

7. This headline is somewhat misleading
The article's not that great either. Basically, the story is that Californians authorized a 10-year, 1 (?) billion dollar bond for stem cell research. It's been held up in lawsuits from the usual knuckle-dragging flat-earth types. The cases seem pretty likely to be found in favor of the state so a deal was made to start giving out money for research immediately in the form of 'loans' which will be payed back from the bond. Arnie's just authorizing those loans to go through.

9. and stay tuned for lots more WONDERFUL things
from the Governator. He's a thug, a crook and a Republican (err, I guess that's redundant). Watching the big right wing bucks just roll into CA -- I hope Angeledes gets real busy soon hooking up Ahhhnuuld with Ken Lay, Bush, Ohio, ad naseum....

10. Arnold just keeps playing the moderate democrat roll. Until...
Edited on Fri Jul-21-06 12:43 AM by GreenTea
he gets re-elected (as all the republicans do) and then Arnold's true colors (and republican ideology) will fly, just like before.

12. This is how he's distancing himself from Bush
That's why Angelides has to distance himself even more from Bush.
