Where's Mulder When You Need Him?

This falls into the category of crazies of a feather flocking together.

According to a piece I read today at TPM, the Georgia state legislature, buoyed, I'm sure by their lawsuit against the feds, have taken paranoia to the extreme. Ginned up by a rumor that the health care reform bill mandates that microchips be implanted in each American, the south decided to rise again and hold hearingson a bill that would ban the procedure.

Seems they got lucky; one of their witnesses claimed "she's all ready been implanted with a microchip. As the folks at TPM report:

 And not just any microchip, but one the Pentagon had implanted in her "vaginal-rectum area", apparently to track her movements.

Presumably part of the Stimulus Bill.

LOL. And just so you know the folks at TPM are not just being snarky here, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports some of her testimony here:

"Microchips are like little beepers," the woman told the committee. "Just imagine, if you will, having a beeper in your rectum or genital area, the most sensitive area of your body. And your beeper numbers displayed on billboards throughout the city. All done without your permission."

Oh my! That really would be something.

From Biogenesis:



Scully: Mulder, it is such a gorgeous day outside. Have you ever entertained the idea of trying to find life on this planet?

Mulder:  I have seen the life on this planet, Scully, and that is exactly why I am looking elsewhere.

Every time I read something like this I can't help but think of my friend Steve Cohen's assertion that the worst thing that ever happened to this country was The North winning The Civil War.
If The South had won, we wouldn't have had to subsidize their ignorance and bigotry over the last 150 years.
Let them secede as Rick Perry suggets.
They'll be a s relevant as Guatamala in 10 years.
