SARS is spread by lack of funding.  Every Liberal knows that.  More
income redistribution can save our children!

It isn't the Earth sitting on African elephant's back in turn standing
on a tortoise and then tortoises all the way down.  WMAP data
explicitly requires an Indian elephant, then the usual data
renormalization used to such telling effect in Enviro-whiner
climatology.

Again.  Given that the Human Genome Project has been Officially
completed at least three times to date, one wonders why nobody knows
how many genes there are within it.  The number is hovering around
27,000 right now, but pundits promise 30,000 if more studies are
funded.

Little Dr. Persephone Mogly and her genomic horde are sitting at home
tonight wondering how many innocent children will die because vicious
Darwnian capitalism decided to invest in infrastructure instead of
plumping her expense accounts.  In the meanwhile, some gene-gineer
cowboy whom Management has never liked has decided to sequence the
entire Sargasso Sea.  Given that the rules of engagement are "if you
discover it, you name it," there might me a million disparate
organisms added to current lists, all named craigventerii.  Since
Venter is a White male, this is historic White Protestant opression of
Peoples of Colour celebrating their ethnic diversities.  Africans
discovered all these organisms, but they were stolen by crusaders.

A world of racial diversity has no tolerence for unfair oppressions of
competence.
