No To Mermaids And Centaurs

Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu made it back into the national headlines this morning, but probably not in a way she would like. Jason Linkins wrote a scathing op-ed in today's Huffingtonpost.com on Sen. Landrieu's co-sponsoring the Human-Animal Hybrid Prohibition Act of 2009 with Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas. Here's Linkins' opening paragraph:
Great news, everyone! At some point last week, Senators Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) and Mary Landrieu (D-La.) must have finished fighting all the terrorists and repaired the economy and reversed all the bad unemployment trends, because how else could you explain the two of them introducing a law that would prohibit scientists from making mermaids and centaurs and Jersey devils and whatnot? Other than to conclude: these two senators are straight-up idiots, I mean? Who can say? Anyway, having just posted on Bigfoot, stand back as I try to WIN THE AFTERNOON with cryptozoology!
It doesn't get much better as you can read here.
