Three times is a pattern
It used to be that Presidents tried to introduce one grand and inspiring new idea into each of their State of the Union addresses. It seems that Bush's goal is to introduce one baffling and off-the-wall idea into each of his State of the Union addresses. 2004--The nation is bogged down in a foreign war, the economy is weak, millions of Americans are without healthcare, and Bush wants to go to Mars. 2005--The nation is bogged down in a foreign war, the economy is weak, millions of Americans are without healthcare, and Bush thinks it's time we did something about steroids in sports. 2006--The nation is bogged down in a foreign war, the economy is weak, millions of Americans are without healthcare, and Bush...
Tonight I ask you to pass legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research -- human cloning in all its forms -- creating or implanting embryos for experiments, creating human-animal hybrids and buying, selling, or patenting human embryos.

Isn't it time we did something about these human-animal hybrids? Haven't we been terrorized by mutant supervillans long enough?

Someone needs to keep a close eye on the President's reading material when he's working on his SOTU speech or next year we might find ourselves sending a bold team of explorers to the center of the earth in a rocket-powered mechanical mole.
