Stem-cell hero

Bob McCarty spotted this caption of a White House photo that depicts Barack Obama signing a directive which allows federal funding of stem-cell research.


The closeup:

As McCarty observes:

Though I find it less troubling than the president’s continuing assault on the unborn, the file name (hero_stemcell_main2.jpg) under which someone at the White House saved the photo of the signing ceremony this afternoon is disturbingly creepy.

Not as creepy as the song Bruce Springsteen will sing at one of the White House's Wednesday night bashes. The song will be called He's a stem-cell hero, sung to the tune of He's a rhinestone cowboy.
