I've been a life-long liberal, but it seems the weekly Debate Show starring Rick, Ron, Mitt and Newt has begun to influence me.
And today I heard some news that has swung me hard into the "No Big Government" camp. I read about Big Government making some regulations that are beyond the pale.
Read the whole article here. But in essence, it quotes some Oklahoma senator making this claim:
"There is a potential that there are companies that are using aborted human babies in their research and development of basically enhancing flavor for artificial flavors ... 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."
If there was ever anything that would make me want to go to Oklahoma just so I could eat an aborted baby, it's Big Government regulating that I am not "allowed" to.
I can't TELL you the craving I've had for Oklahoma-raised -aborted fetus since I read about this.
Tasty? I bet. I imagine, given they're 50% egg, they taste eggy, maybe with a salty finish of oyster. Like lobsters, the older ones may weigh more and make a spectacular display, but they aren't quite as tender.
I, uh...what???

I'm left wondering if all Senators from Oklahoma are as unintelligible as this one.

Magpie - yeah, this senator evidently heard a rumor that aborted babies were being used to make sweetener, and he put his foot down. Instead of rolling his eyes like a normal person would.
Zayrina - I think the embryos would be tasty deepfried like popcorn shrimp.
Amy in StL - He's a state senator, so maybe that explains it.
