Only You, Sam Brownback, Can Prevent Mermaids, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles


Martin Schongauer: The Archangel Gabriel, 1490/1491, engraving


Yay! Sam Brownback is... back! He's super-worried about human-animal hybrids, which are bad, except it's fully OK to get you some pig heart valves 'n' such. Standards! What we need are some human-animal hybrid standards in here! Brownback is right. I, for one, don't want to get run over by a centaur on my way to Target.

Oh thank you for the Schongauer! It's reminds me that grace and sanity and civilization can exist in this world.

"The bill is modest in scope..." I'll say! What about prohibiting the reanimation of monsters assembled from parts of cadavers? What about prohibiting the creation of dinosaurs from ancient DNA? What about prohibiting giant, radiation-spawned ants? Get to work, Brownback! America needs protection!

I can't wait to read the People for the Ethical Treatment of Human-Animal Combo Critters (PET-HACC)'s press release on this one...

I really don't get how he can justify genetically modifying livestock and soy beans, but be totally against messing with human genetics. Hmph.
