meanwhile in hell...

I spent 10 hours in Trenton, NJ yesterday. I listened to hours of testimony about funding for stem cell research. Parapalegics scooted around in wheelchairs and spoke to the budget committee through their stephen hawking computers. "I BELIEVE EVERY EMBRYO DESERVES A CHANCE TO LIVE." "YEARS AGO PEE PULL WERE GIVEN LOW BOT UH MEES." Fricken pro life disabled people.

The real fight was about whether to build the new biomedical research facilities in Camden or Newark. The respective mayors / state senators from both those towns chaired the budget committee and sat at the head of the table. The mayors are known to be corrupt, self-serving mayors-for-life. The few white republicans whispered that stem cell research was just pork for the cities. Fricken anti-urban white men.

So it was gimpy and the catholic crew vs the pimpenest mayors in america vs snivly type a bitches. There were toupees. There were suits from sears. It was hell.
