One has to wonder about those pig heart transplants.

Yes, hurrah for all those poor souls who need heart donors. I get it. But, it's a shame we can't maximize the pig's sacrifice. For example, I know more than a few people who could use a brain transplant. Wouldn't that be something if we could achieve that medical miracle and humanize some of the members of the Republican party who appear to be regressing back to a primitive form of the human race?

Just the kind of thoughts that cross my mind before I have my morning cuppa.

And, it doesn't even have to be a toss-up between double organ donor or breakfast.

Seriously, I feel for the pigs. They are intelligent animals and I wish we could have found a better way.

DVT problems. It didn't take and he had to have his leg amputated. The doctors left just barely
enough for him to rest his guitar on.

Seems fair to me.......

Seriously, considering the remainder of the animal could be consumed and the number of pigs slaughtered every day for food, that sacrifice should make 'ole Porky proud.

Actually Baitball Blogger, pig brain transplants into some Republicans I've known would advance them up to the primitive form.
