A Contest

Last night, in his State of the Union address, the President raised an important issue which is tugging at the strings of our social fabric: man-beasts. "Tonight I ask you to pass legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research: ... creating human-animal hybrids"

Is this another example of Bush pandering to his bigoted base, furthering intolerance against a helpless and already marginalized group of manimals? No centaur ever done me wrong. Or are these manimals running amok, what with their opposable thumbs and razor-like claws. Also, what are the culinary implications? Does cooking and eating an animal-human hybrid equate to murder and cannibalism? What do you think would be a delicious mixture? A prize for the winning man-beast recipe. (Helpful suggestion: the tastiest part of the human is, supposedly, the palm.)
