Oh sure, raise the ethical issue
If you take a cell from a pig that was genetically engineered with human proteins, and you grow that into a meat-like substance, is that meat human? Someone call the stem cell squad, we gots us a contruhversie.

Great. There goes another month of Dubaya's thinking time.

Just a month?
He is WAY over-committed already.
Come on people, we have to overclock him as it is, the only way to get him to keep up and @ 99% utilization and heavy EyeOhh.
Sheesh, now we are at saturation on all fronts(yes the real fronts). Keep this up, he will overheat even more than normal. Maybe, possibly let out his "magic smoke". Then what are we gonna do?

Maybe more, maybe less
Depends on how much press time Karl Rove wants to waste presenting the president as Rodin's The Thinker.

We have to be careful
You know, fellas, if Bush explodes from too much thinking, we could end up with Dick Cheney as president. (quivering from fear)
Just a caveat.

No need to fear
Anytime Bush is in danger of overheating he will just take another vacation.

No wonder he takes such long vacations
What, with it being so hot down there, it takes forever for the heat to bleed off.

Actually, it wasn't
In [link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_Room%21_Make_Room%21|Make Room! Make Room!], the Harry Harrison short story that was made into the movie, soylent green was just soybeans and lentals.
I recall reading in a Harry Harrison collection of shorts that on the opening night a movie theatre had put a sign on their slushie machine along the lines of "Soylent Green/Yellow Slushies". Apparently the manager didn't know the movie had changed it. :-)

sure, going into the movie
Found it - [link|http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0312877900/ref=pd_sxp_f/102-8325256-8135342?v=glance&s=books|Harry Harrison 50 in 50]. The bit about the slusies is at the end of the introduction. It took me a while to find out how the cannibalism got into the film - it was certainly not in the novel... The producer was trying to sell the film to MGM as an overpopulation film. MGM didn't think that theme was important enough...screenwriter added the cannibalism theme - and they bought it for that...
I do remember, with great pleasure, the opening night of the film. The theatre manager was selling orange and lime slushies to the audience. He enthusiastically labeled the lime "Soylent Greenade." He had of course never seen the film. Going in the audience enthusiastically noshed down the slushies. Exiting later they turned soylent green when they saw the slushy machine.
