And the GOP wonders why no one takes them seriously anymore?
A flailing economy, a Supreme Court confirmation fight, a push for health care reform, a move toward energy independence, and Republican Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas has a different priority: the two-term legislator has introduced a Senate bill that would ban the creation of “part-human, part-animal” hybrids. Take that, Centaurs, Minotaurs, and Mermaids.
I guess this is what Thune means by supporting the views of South Dakotans. What’s next John? Banning Dungeons and Dragons?
The following senators are orginal co-sponsors: Senators Sam Brownback (R-KS), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Jim Bunning (R-KY), Richard Burr (R-NC), Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), Tom Coburn (R-OK), Bob Corker (R-TN), John Cornyn (R-TX), Jim DeMint (R-SC), John Ensign (R-NV), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), James Inhofe (R-OK), Mike Johanns (R-NE), Jon Kyl (R-AZ), Mel Martinez (R-FL), John McCain (R-AZ), James Risch (R-ID), John Thune (R-SD), David Vitter (R-LA), George Voinovich (R-OH), and Roger Wicker (R-MS).

The sponsors also double as a list of the clueless and irrelevant. It’s amazing that voters waste a senatorial position on such stunt-prone clowns.
Not really.. that has to be some kind of joke. What drives someone to think this is a serious threat to humanity?
They’d have better luck saving humanity if they banned cheeseburgers.
I didn’t catch the whole story, but I heard on the news this stems from some doctor somewhere working on a type of pig-human hybrid and thinking it could change the definition of what it means to be “human”.
Thus, I suspect this bill is a direct response to this doctor’s actions. We saw the same type of reaction when certain doctors professed they had the technology to clone humans, so in my view this is a logical albeit humorous and silly progression.
Certain city politicians and personnel are already a horse’s ass. It’s important they can’t be cloned.
So…
Let me get this straight:
NO to Public Healthcare
YES to some science fiction bullshit?
Are you kidding me?
This is what John has to do now that he is leading this group of R nuts in the Senate. He is driving the nutball’s bus.
STFU, Angry Guy. I love cheeseburgers. My favorite food.
