BREAKING NEWS: TOM DELAY SWITCHING SPECIES!
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Veteran former U.S Representative and Speaker of the House Tom Delay (R-Texas) has decided to switch from human to pig on Tuesday, saying he has found himself increasingly "at odds with humanist philosophy."



Delay resigned his position from the House of Representatives in 2005, citing a "lack of tasty truffles to be had on the House floor" as his main reason.

"This is a painful decision. I know I'm disappointing many of my former colleagues," he said at a news conference announcing the move. "But the disappointment runs in both directions.

"I'm putting my porcine principles into action, finally," he added.

"As humanity has moved farther and farther toward the light in these last 100 days or so, I have found myself increasingly at odds with it," Delay oinked. "This decision to divest myself of all remaining vestiges of personhood just feels right to me.

"In the course of the last several months ... I have traveled the state and surveyed the sentiments of the Republican Party in Texas and public opinion polls, observed other public opinion polls and have found that the prospects for returning to the House are bleak."

When questioned on the subject of the recent swine flu outbreak, Delay squealed loudly and took off "like a yuppie out of Oakland," according to Congresswoman Barbara Lee.

2. I always found him rather insectoid, myself.
That exterminator background just looked liked genocide to me.

3. The Bugman should join his DNA equivalent if he wants to change species
And finally become the cockroach he truly is.

10. However, he was careful not to switch into a roach
and then be exterminated by his own business.

It sounds like such fun; I hope for a full report, w/exploding heads and everything!

(PS: Any chance you could scrounge up a rec or two for this worthy cause? Only two more would put me over the top!)
