When they came for Anubis I said nothing. When they came for Ganesha I said nothing.
The most chilling part of Tuesday's state of the union speech:
I would dismiss this as simple pandering if it did not follow so closely on the heels of the 2005 Anti-lycanthropy Act, 57 U.S.C. 113, the interment of centaurs shortly after 9-11, and the order that all satyrs wear armbands emblazoned with a Pan flute. In retrospect, W's constant railing (in typically misguided fashion) against both Batman and Tiger Woods now makes a lot more sense as does that huge labyrinth he had constructed behind the Texas governor's mansion. If any of your friends are mermaids please encourage to move out of US territorial waters as quickly as possible!Tonight I ask you to pass legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research: ... creating human-animal hybrids...
(I never thought it would happen but W has actually made me feel sorry for a certain snake-haired Star Tribune columnist.)

CP had quite a bit of info on this. There are potential therapeutic purposes to the research. Fraught with ethical concerns, to be sure, but what if you could use a mouse as a host to grow human tissue? Not for something silly like curing Alzheimer's, but for something important: like baldness or impotency?
Yeah, I know it is a serious issue, PZ had a post on it too. But I just couldn't resist trying to find a (very) little humor in the commander in chimp's inclusion of the line.
