Human-animal hybrids (satire)
No monkey-men, just medical cures

MIKE ARGENTO
Daily Record/Sunday News

Feb 5, 2006 — You have to give President Dubya credit for having the courage to take on one of the most pressing issues facing humankind.
Terrorism, right?

No, any fool can fight terrorism - quick show of hands, who's in favor of terrorism? - and they often do, as evidenced by the stellar performances of the CIA, NSA and other initialed agencies charged with eavesdropping on us when we call out for pizza. On the plus side, they have repeatedly killed al-Qaida's No. 2 guy. (Is it me, or have we killed Osama's right-hand man about 18 times now?)

OK, then, his stand on our oil dependence, right?

Sorry, wrong again. He said we're "addicted" to oil and have to kick the habit. Hey, his family was responsible for giving us our first taste, so it's only fair that they pay for our rehab.

He said some other things.

But the one stand that took the kind of courage we expect from Dubya was his call on Congress to ban human-animal hybrids.

6. Canada banned that sort of research three or so years ago...
I realize that, on the surface, it SOUNDS funny. But it's for real. And you can bet someone, somewhere, is going to be conducting the research.

It's not nearly as funny as it sounds.
