President Obama will announce Monday that he is reversing Bush administration limits on federal financing for embryonic stem cell research. Keep an eye out for a presidential address on the issue on Monday around 11 (check local listings).

HOOOOO YAAAAAA! The sun is shining and there's promise on the horizon.
