OBAMA ASKS CONGRESS FOR 100 MILLION TO MAP THE BRAIN.

[JEFF9K]

President Obama has asked Congress for one-hundred-million dollars to map the human brain.

Republicans balked at the price tag, saying that a conservative brain could be mapped for HALF that!

1. We gotta work on fighting autism and dementia and other diseases. I'm all for it!

[JEFF9K]

18. Investment

It's a good investment.

2. You just KNOW what's gonna happen...I can see it now....

House teabaggers reject Obama request for science funding because they think he will use it for mind control against god-fearing, patriotic, freedom-loving 'murkans

3. If the President wants to map the Republican brain,

it won't run more than a buck-fifty...

[woodsprite]

7. Exactly!!! n/t

13. We just saved ourselves a buck fifty...the test was already done. Here are the results!

You will have to go to the link to see the scan, Aristus...

The guy whose brain was scanned for the above picture doesn't have a chance of survival - at least not as an American human being. He has been diagnosed as one of those unfortunate beings who places in the lowest twenty percent of self-identified Republicans and as such suffers chronic attacks of bigotry, intolerance, self-righteousness, secessionist tendencies, overbearing (fake) patriotism, hard-boiled homophobia, and totally rank hypocrisy. His I.Q. has been reduced to a level below that of an amoeba. This reduction is brought on by irrational hatred of just about everything he is told to hate.

None of these terrible conditions have ever been treated simply because he was unaware of them. If caught in time (before the age of reason since these viruses attack rudimentary reasoning first) they might have been treated.

The most obvious sign that his mental capacities were impaired was when he stated on a Research 2000 survey that he thought Sarah Palin was better qualified for the position as President of the United States than Barack Obama. Examining researchers were horrified that this man's deterioration had been so long and advanced.

4. Thanks. I needed that this morning. n/t

5. Can we end the furloughs of federal employees first?

There are families that are getting a 10% (or more) reduction in their gross pay. Thgis is a great idea, but we should take care of federal employees first.

17. + a zillion. My first thought.

[Cirque du So-What]

6. He's making a request to a legislative body

one of which considers the human brain a superfluous organ - not unlike the appendix.

[Mad Maddie]

8. It Would be a Quick Study...

... once we figure out how to wade through all the crap in the way of finding the tiny sliver of gray matter.

9. Map a Republican brain for penneys. nm

[DFW]

15. Don't ignore the effects of inflation

These days, the total cost is probably up to $1.49, and that's without sales tax.

[adieu]

10. Congress says,

"How about mapping the brain of a Republican. Should only cost about $100,000."

[Spitfire of ATJ]

11. I can hear the Right now claiming it's part of his reeducation camps.

[Augiedog]

12. Run

Oh wait, no need to run. He wants to map human brains, we haven't had one of those since Eisenhower.

[Paper Roses]

14. I could think of many ways to spend 100 million dollars. This does not set well with me.

Think of how many children 100 million could feed.

[Hosnon]

16. If we can recreate the brain, we can feed every child on the planet.
