realcdaae: We don't know how many people—most of them poor and black—died because of Hurricane Katrina. A lot of them died slowly, especially the sick and elderly, because help couldn't get there in time.
Fortunately, the, um, pre-born were rescued. Huzzah for the snowflake babies!
“That is great! I’m going to call all our officers and tell them. They’ll be pretty excited,” said Lt. Eric Bumgarner, one of seven Illinois Conservation Police officers and three Louisiana state troopers who sloshed through floodwaters to remove the embryos. Bumgarner said he has often wondered what happened to the embryos: “One of these embryos could be the next president.”
Arguably, said embryo couldn't do a worse job than the current president did.

some simple mathematics...
Not to cast aspersions upon Lt. Bumgarner or anything, but let's examine this for a minute. If memory serves correctly, you have to be at least 35 to run for president. A president serves for 4 years, which means that there would be almost 9 administrations between now (assuming one of these embryos was implanted and the baby was born prior to the next presidential election). So, again assuming that any of these embryos is ever implanted and comes to term, not a single one of them will be the next president.
What an absurd thing to say... As if that was reason to rescue embryos instead of... hrrrmmmm... uuuhhhhh... oh yeah! Already living people!

Or, hell... just elect the unborn embryo president!
I love it when Republicans bitch about the two-term limit, considering those bastards shoved the damn amendment down the country's throat in the first damn place!
