End Times Tidbits #3

How come vaporizing children with 500-pound bombs is acceptable 'collateral damage' , but using excess human zygotes for stem-cell research is a mortal sin and a threat to our National Soul?
We're blowing up Iraqi kids so we can...um...WMD...no, I mean 9-11, er...um...Saddam...freedom... I forget. Must be the Alzheimer's.
Please hurry with that stem cell research.

Doing the NRA's bidding, Congress let the assault weapons ban lapse. They've now introduced a bill to make D.C. more 'gun-friendly'.


Rep. Mark Edward Souder (R-Ind.) said House Republican leaders have
promised him a vote before the Nov. 2 election on his proposed D.C. Personal
Protection Act, which would end a ban on handguns in the nation's capital;
remove a prohibition against semiautomatic weapons; lift registration
requirements for ammunition and other firearms; and cancel criminal penalties
for possessing unregistered firearms and carrying a handgun in one's home or
workplace.

I'm weighing the pros and cons of working in a high-stress environment with an office full of gun-totin' , Uzi- wielding co-workers. The downside is fairly obvious, and it's compounded by the fact that the unregistered guns will make it difficult to determine who shot who when the authorities sort out the bloody carnage.


On the positive , we can defend our cubes in case of terrorist assault or Cuban invaders. Personally, I'm loading my TEC-9 with silver bullets in case werewolves attack.

In case you ever wondered if Bush has a heart, well no, he doesn't. At least not in the same place as human beings. Or does thinking about 9-11 make him instinctively reach for his 'Johnnie'?

At a Republican meeting this spring, Coburn warned: "The gay community has infiltrated the very centers of power in every area across this country, and they wield extreme power ... That agenda is the greatest threat to our freedom that we face today. Why do you think we see the rationalization for abortion and multiple sexual partners? That's a gay agenda."

Tom Coburn heads Bush's Presidential Advisory Council on AIDS/HIV.

I wish I was making this up.
