Freedom from Blunt

Missouri’s scientists are being lured away by leaders from other states who aren’t afraid of boobies or stem cells.

Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has sent letters to about 80 Missouri scientists promising them a warm welcome, great laboratories and a shot at government funding for their research.

“Here in Illinois, we’re advancing medical science by providing resources that will help stem-cell researchers continue their groundbreaking work,” Blagojevich and Illinois Comptroller Dan Hynes told them in the letter sent Aug. 29.

“We encourage you to explore the possibility of moving to Illinois and leveraging our great research institutions, where many of your colleagues have found the freedom to explore the promise of stem-cell research.”

Who needs scientists? We’ve got walnut bowls and a couple of teeth. Them thar books smarts ain’t no good no how. I believe that Jebus and Baby Blunt’s great hair will protect me.
