(2005-11-18) — Reacting quickly to new a study, published in the journal Cell, that shows timid mice can be made bold by removal of a single gene, President George Bush today urged Congress to provide $10 billion of immediate funding for the research “for the benefit of America’s fearful rodents.”
During a week in which Senate Republicans approved a bill on the Iraq war that was written largely by Democrats, and House Republicans defeated their own budget bill, Mr. Bush said, “It breaks my heart to think of those little mice as they cower in the corner with their whiskers twitching as they read the polling data.”
The president acknowledged that the $10 billion for the ‘fear gene’ research is “a big chunk of change,” but he justified the spending as a short-term measure that would be paid back ten-fold if the therapy works beyond mice.
