Honestly, you can't make this stuff up. It would be funny yet this is who the people elected and it seems, judging from the potus candidates, get more crazy every day.

Oklahoma lawmaker wants to ban fetuses in food


Based on something he read online, an Oklahoma state senator has introduced a bill that would ban the use of aborted human fetuses in food.

Yes, you read that correctly.

No, he's never heard of any instances of this happening before, Sen. Ralph Shortey told the Associated Press.

But Shortey read that it might be happening, so he thought the bill would, at the very least, give any food companies toying with the idea an "ultimatum."

    Years ago when I lived in Western New York State I worked in a cannery for a short while. One of the guys there told me it was legal for canned food to contain a certain small percentage of rat. Hmmm...

    That's all well and good but everyone knows that politicians are all in the pockets of Big Fetus, so a bill like that would never pass. It's just more grandstanding to please voters in an election year.

    Do I have to get used to saying "hold the fetus please" next time I go out to dinner? unless its in teryaki, then its just fine.
