Total driveby diary, as I'm taking my son out to dinner, but he was startled when I started laughing so hard I fell out of my chair.
There is an endangered species in modern American Politics, and that is the Moderate Republican (Psychosis Enabilius). Members of the Initiative to Protect the Political Middle (IPPM) have begun capturing surviving examples for humane breeding purposes. Link below the fold.
From (where else?) The Onion:
"Last week we shot Gov. Mitch Daniels with a tranquilizer dart from a blind we'd set up near the Indiana Capitol, and we plan on mating him very soon with a senator we trapped up in Maine," said IPPM reproductive expert Gabriel Burke, adding that forced breeding of centrist Republicans in captivity is a humane, carefully regulated procedure designed to simulate mating in the wild.
Honestly, I just don't think they will be very successful. As the article elaborates, the natural terrain of
Psychosis Enabilius has been taken over by the highly territorial artificially-introduced Tea Party Republican (
Kockless Teahadist Astroturfist), a species not known for peaceful coexistence with anything other than itself. Finally, an attemped cross-breeding program between Tea Party Republicans and liberal Democrats.........
didn't go well.
