Good Thing She was "Just Kidding"...

about reducing the use of "the important papers". It looks like she could use some right about now.

Kudos to Archbishop Raymond Burke of St. Louis, MO for standing up for what's right. Undoubtedly, there are going to be quite a few critics who will screech about how he would have turned down thousands of dollars in donations "to help the children", all so he could make a point. It is precisely because of his passion for helping children, born and unborn, that Archbishop Burke has resigned his chairmanship in protest of Sheryl Crow's appearance in a benefit concert for the Cardinal Glennon Children's Foundation.

Please note, that the Reuters story points out that Ms. Crow is a "proponent of stem cell research". A more accurate description would have been to say she's a proponent of embryonic stem cell research. In the wake of the Michael J. Fox campaign ads, however, liberals have figured out that one has to drop the "E-word" when talking about stem cells. Incidentally, embryonic stem cell research has yielded nothing in terms of curing diseases; research on using adult stem cells (such as bone marrow transplants to treat leukemia) has been the only research to show benefits. May be it's supposed to work that way? Just a thought.
