ST. LOUIS -- This week a group of university researchers made headlines when they announced they created cloned pigs that could produce heart-disease fighting nutrients, opening the door to healthier bacon and pork chops.
    Soon after, however, a group of bio-political scientists announced they had created a strain of cloned pigs that could make healthier, more efficient politicians.
    "While the findings are still highly theoretical, it's still a very big leap," said Alexis Lemont, a genetic sociologist. "Imagine these cloned pigs, drafting and voting on legislation in an all-ungulate Congress," she continued. "Believe it or not, we think this technology is not that far off."
