Brain Cell Injections

I'd like to recommend an as-yet undiscussed potential for new research reported on in the Washington Post today. Along with uses such as the treatment of neuronal illnesses, it could prove fruitful to pursue an application we could call the "Congressional Upgrade" ... with a few "booster shots" of grade A human-mouse brain cells we could transform Congress so that it would balance the budget, investigate corruption, address our expanding trade deficit, demand accountability for continued bungling in Iraq, and in general do good things.

Come to think of it, any congressman involved in a corruption scandal could repay his debt to society by donating himself to science and the public good. Boy, if any of them had a history as an exterminator, that would give the whole thing a twist of irony, wouldn't it?

This could give America a real shot in the arm, people ... except it would be in the brain.
