MICHAEL MOUSE
The Age reports:
Melbourne researchers have successfully blocked in laboratory rats a gene believed to be a major regulator of hunger, causing the rats to eat less and lose weight.
They hope the process can be replicated in humans and become a treatment for obesity.
It could work. Compare the Melbourne rat to this mouse, which has been implanted with the Michael Moore gene.

And the mouse doesn't look like its been dragged through a hedge backwards.
Where does Mikey get his fashion tips from- Derro Vogue?
He looks like an extra off of the set of the movie "Gung Ho."

Yup, get a new riff or people will start saying "Ole four eyes, balding timmy blair can't get a real media job and just keeps nagging on about how Micheal Moore/Phil Adams/the ABC is fat/lying/PC'd up its own arse.
All of which is true - but we already know that.
Seriously, you are a smart and funny guy but get some new tunes and post something thoughtful and reasoned through about what you think should be done (or not done) as opposed to all the petty nitpicking.
Otherwise I'll stop being a snarky gatecrasher.
Now there's an offer you can refuse.
