Ask a Stupid Question …

The Georgia state legislature, on top of the latest threats, is holding hearings on a bill to ban implanting people with microchips — as one rumor suggested the Health Care Reform bill mandated.

But the good folks who run the Judiciary Committee seemed to have gotten a bit more than they reckoned with when one of their hearing witnesses claimed that she had already been implanted with a microchip.

And not just any microchip, but one the Pentagon had implanted in her “vaginal-rectum area”, apparently to track her movements.

Presumably part of the Stimulus Bill.
