Pixie Dust and Politics

Now we’re re growing body parts?!? I’ve seen a story pop up in a few places about a study being done on returning Iraq war vets…The Pentagon has reportedly dedicated $250 million to this research. So they spend how many billions to get your arm blown off, and then a few million to try and grow it back? But I digress…

Anyway, this “pixie dust”, as they’re calling it, is derived from stem cells found in a pig. The theory is based on the regenerative capabilities of the Salamander. The “stump” is cut open, this dust is spread in, and the wound is sewn shut. The idea is to stimulate the cells into growing again by using the stem cells.

Imagine what wonders we could unlock if our politicians legislated with their supposed intellect and not with their bible. Free Stem Cells in ’08!

NASA has landed a rover on Mars. Again. People are starving to death and killing each other right here on Earth, but we can spend how many billions sending a robotic camera to another planet? Sweet. I’m sure the people in Myanmar are very impressed with pictures that look like Death Valley at sunset.

In politics today…aw forget it. I can’t pretend to be excited anymore. Yes, duh duh duh dubya will be out soon. For that the Nixons are grateful. Out soon only to be replaced, I fear, by McCain. First, the dem’s seemed to have lost all perspective on what an American really looks like and thinks with; overweight, poor, and not with their brain…Second, they’re hopelessly dividing the party through this protracted nomination battle. And Third (this goes back to point 1), do they really think when the general election comes that Americans, the same Americans THAT RE ELECTED DUBYA, are going to elect a woman or a dark skinned man whose name says Hussein right in it to the office of The President?

The Nixons are very open minded. You might even say we’re “liberal” (blecch) or “progressive”. The Nixons would love to see a woman, a muslim, a dark skinned man or woman, hell…anyone besides a wealthy, old, bible thumping white dinosaur in the White House.

But The Nixons are not typical. The Nixons do not belong to the NRA, have not recently lost their cushy union job to “those damn immigrant foreigners”, do not attend church, and DO think for themselves.

All the republicans have to do is stir up any religion related issue and the bible thumpers get out and vote en masse for whichever candidate looks and sounds the most like them. Don’t believe us? How many gay marriage initiatives were put on the state ballots in “swing states” for the 2004 election? Enough to drive record voter registration drives among “religious groups”. Enough that Bush lite was re elected. Neither Hillary or Obama fill match that description for at least 51% of the voting population in this country. That may be an ugly truth, but it is the truth…The Republicans, if anything, are very good at winning presidential elections.

And one more thing for you fans of war...McCain said in a speech today, "...i will never surrender in Iraq..." Heck, let's just re elect Dubya. why not? FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!

Practice acts of random kindness,

The Nixons
