Everyone reading (and understanding)

WOW now if they give the treatment to Rosie O'D she can lift her intelligence to the level of a non-retarded mouse. Unfortunately her body will still look like a hog.

I doubt it, after watching what I have on C-span this afternoon, it would appear it is too late to have much hope.

Geesh, just take a look at the uber-mouse Harry pinky Reid!

“How did they know they were retarded?”

They kept asking the same question at the end of every episode.

The answer of course is “Try to take over the world!”

Undoubtedly, somewhere there is an advocacy group for "differently-abled" or "special" mice that will take umbrage at that headline...
