The Very Old Party

Is it me, or does that mouse look like Mike Johnson?
Republicans are standing next to signs saying Democrats were “trans-ing the mice” because they don’t want people to realize they’re talking about transgenic mice—genetically modified mice used in lifesaving medical research on cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and neurological disorders. People could die because Republicans saw that important medical research has the word “trans” in it.
Raising serious questions about the Secretary of Trans-portation.

38 legislative days left before Election Day, and this is what they do.
  They are so completely out of ideas.

  1. I was listening to a jackass congressman from your state going on about research into pregnancy among transboys who, apparently, hadn't thought out the possibility that not all transboys have had surgery to remove their reproductive organs. All I could think was, well, thank William Proxmire, though I would bet he'd have at least through things through at least that far. With all the things he could have gone after to try to tamp down excessive spending, the military budget, the military budget, the military budget, he often gave his "Golden Fleece Award" to arguably legitimate research.
