Once again the Missouri legislature shows its ignorance on issues of real importance. Maybe if the State spent more money on education it would realize that there are plenty of credible professionals in the U.S. and worldwide who actually have degrees in fields of science, past high school!

Here’s a parody on Todd Akin. I think it’s a parody.

I share Akin’s belief that we shouldn’t take global cooling/warming/change hysteria seriously until the pompous idiots who preach about it do to. When they start divesting in beach front property, I might reconsider.

I like Todd Akin. He’s a friend of mine. We said nice things about each other after he meet me in last November’s General Election. But being nice doesnt seem to correlate with being smart or right. He’s smart enough to know that climate change is a serious issue. But he and some of his rich Republican cronies are of the make money while we can, we all die, we all die, he who dies with the most money wins, school of thought. I like to think that given a fair choice, fairly funded, his district will agree that they deserve better. I hope we’ll see. Otherwise, when world as we know it begins to end if we dont get a handle on climate change, y’all will know whom to write.

Ok, when you say “taking heat,” you mean one partisan blog mentions Akin in a negative light?

There’s plenty of debate on the topic of “man-made” or organic warming and cooling of the earth.

More than 31,400 American scientists – 9,000 of whom hold Ph.D.s in their fields – who have signed a petition to the U.S. government that declares, “There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate.”

Global warming can’t be real. If it was, it would be a fear tactic. Which would then make it a conservative issue.
