says Ma$e, who says he lost 25 pounds to get in fighting shape for the tour
I'm guessing that this interview is not only for Puff Daddy, but also for all the performers on this tour. At first I thought it was only an interview for Puff Daddy.

I wonder who Schneider is?

bouquets of roses adding a fragrant touch to his cabana-style backstage
I can picture the flowers of roses and the cabana-style backstage lounge where there is probably many people enjoying their time.

"No label has ever made 22 years of hits and been alive and been fly enough and been young enough to go and perform them,"
I like how the author uses quotes from the person he is interviewing that seem so casual. It is almost like he didn't interview him at all. It is less formal that just sitting down and asking a bunch of random questions, but I like it.

Combs, who turned a label built on adventurous, highly lyrical New York hip-hop singles into the most formidable hit-making machine of the late Nineties.
I'm getting the idea that Puffy is also named Combs. I think this represents that he is comfortable with people knowing he is really a person behind the big name. It seems like he is big since he was able to turn a few singles into a hit making machine.

three bouquets of roses adding a fragrant touch to his cabana-style backstage lounge,
In my mind I can see the beautiful roses and almost smell their fragrance. I can also see a lounge with tropical "cabana" style inside.

"if human embryonic stem cell research does not make you at least a little bit uncomfortable, you have not thought about it enough.
SO WHAT?!? So the big idea is that human embryonic stem cell research is a topic that everyone should consider - and not just scientists and presidents. It is a topic that can affect me should humans be cloned.

Obama's address was morally unserious in the extreme
This phrase stands out for me because it is the title of the text. The author goes on to describe Obama's lack of seriousness on morals in science as "didactic discourses" meaning that Obama was all about one side or another. I had never considered Obama as this type of speaker, but now I will listen more closely to Obama's viewpoints on topics.

abdication. It is acquiescence
I know I'm on the right track because I know that abdication means formally relinquish. So Obama is formally giving up his right to have a say on the topic. I also understand the term acquiescence which means a reluctant acceptance without protest. So I suppose Obama is uncomfortable on the topic and although he doesn't protest, he just goes along.

I am not religious. I do not believe that personhood is conferred upon conception. But I also do not believe that a human embryo is the moral equivalent of a hangnail and deserves no more respect than an appendix. Moreover, given the protean power of embryonic manipulation, the temptation it presents to science, and the well-recorded human propensity for evil even in the pursuit of good, lines must be drawn. I suggested the bright line prohibiting the deliberate creation of human embryos solely for the instrumental purpose of research -- a clear violation of the categorical imperative not to make a human life (even if only a potential human life) a means rather than an end.
The basic gist is that the author believes we should consider humans as much more than body parts. He also considers that we should set clear boundaries ("lines must be drawn".

While I favor moving that moral line to additionally permit the use of spare fertility clinic embryos
This reminds me of what I wish Dr. Frankenstein would have done in his experiments which was to consider the moral implications of working on stem cells.

Last week, the White House invited me to a signing ceremony overturning the Bush (43) executive order on stem cell research. I assume this was because I have long argued in these columns and during my five years on the President's Council on Bioethics that, contrary to the Bush policy, federal funding should be extended to research on embryonic stem cell lines derived from discarded embryos in fertility clinics.
I wonder why the author uses "Washington" to start his essay. I also wonder why the author chose to use "discarded embryos" - it makes the term sound clinical.

Last week, the White House invited me to a signing ceremony overturning the Bush (43) executive order on stem cell research
I already know that stem cell research is controversial. It involves considering religious, cultural, and personal beliefs.
