They were kidding around about this on Bill Maher tonight. Saw a mention here and there on the web. But the Daily Kos did it up wonderfully:-
Well, it's good to know that lawmakers are finally cracking down on
this problem:
A bill introduced in the Oklahoma Legislature has some folks scratching their heads, as it prohibits "the manufacture or sale of food or products which use aborted human fetuses."
The bill states:
No person or entity shall manufacture or knowingly sell food or any other product intended for human consumption which contains aborted human fetuses in the ingredients or which used aborted human fetuses in the research or development of any of the ingredients.
The genius behind this bill, State Sen. Ralph Shortey, (R-Of course), explained his rationale:
The senator says that his research shows there are companies in the food industry that have used human stem cells to help them research and develop products, including artificial flavorings."I don't know if it is happening in Oklahoma, it may be, it may not be. What I am saying is that if it does happen then we are not going to allow it to manufacture here."
Frankly, I'm appalled at this attempt to restrict our personal liberties. Who doesn't enjoy a fetus pop on a hot summer day? Or a nice bowl of cream of fetus on a cold winter night? What about folks who enjoy deep fried fetus on a stick at the county fair? Do we really want to prevent McDonald's from introducing the McFetus? That's not very free market-y of the senator. Come on, man, this is America. Our founding fathers didn't discover America just so we could notenjoy our favorite fetus recipes in the privacy of our own homes.

I'm sorry. I caaan I caaaannn I caAAANNTTTTSTOPLAUGHINGMYRIADDDDDDD!!!!!!
Deep fried fetus on a stick? The McFetus? Yessssss. Does it come with cheese and pickles? You can get this soup on the black market in Ohio and now I substitute it for cream of chicken in all my recipes. It also really perks up that tired old green bean casserole if you use it instead of cream of mushroom.
And DID YOU KNOW that some grocery stores are quietly stocking a new canned item? Yes, if you look next to the canned mushrooms (stems and pieces) you can also find canned human stem cells and pieces! Great on pizza and in omelets.
Myriad, I think we're going to hell.
I am so going to hell.
And there's the doorbell. I don't think I know anyone with a pitchfork and a taaiiiiiiii
This is the reason we have no jobs. Too many regulations.
It can't be that cash money sitting in those off shore accounts unknown to so few...
Anyway, it's daylight now, and I am sitting back waiting for my EP and cover.
Oh wait a minute, it's Saturday.
Owell. Getting comments from Romantic and Mission, getting Margaret and Nana worked up, and an exquisite tidbit from Drew: That makes my day.
