Behold the pure ownage of Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) all over Nobel Prize winning Dr. Stephen "if this were a movie I would be freakin' Reed Richards" Chu. Revel in Mr. Barton's awesomesauce as he "stumps" Dr. Chu with his amazing question about the origins of oil under Alaska's soil (h/t wonkette, and Huffpo).
I am sure the good doctor positively cried himself to sleep.
And what would a week be with out our favorite member of the House of Representatives, Rep. Michelle "re-edu-ma-cate my ass" Bachmann (R-MN)? The other day on the floor of the House she passed along her feelings on Cap and Trade (which she inventively refers to as 'cap and tax' zing!). As much as I enjoy Mrs. Bachmann's rants, it was nice to see someone actually counter her in real time. Good job Rep. Blumenhauer you do your constituents proud (h/t Wonk Room).
I would just like to point out that sugar is "harmless" as well. Unless you eat too much, then your teeth fall out and you get diabetes and/or a host of other medical issues. But it is natural!
-Cheers

my favorite part was where she said "in other words" and then just rearranged her word order.
Carbon Dioxide is *not* essential to human life, to animal life, to the fish in the oceans and the fowl that fly through the air. It is completely and utterly toxic to them.
Though if the idea is to make the world a better place for *plants* to live, go for it !

I love how Rep Barton kind of scoffs at this new-fangled notion that the continents aren't in a fixed position.
