Tea Party Jesus…
I hear that would be a good moniker for a collection of people making rhythmic sound.
Actually it appears to have been a veiled gotcha at climate change (Alaska so much warmer at some time in the past) – see, there is no anthropogenic climate change, but even if there is, well, at one time Alaska was reallyreally warm and we’re still all here, so it wouldn’t be so bad. Or something like that.
The six seconds part made me laugh.

If you look at Chu’s responses he is progressively dumbing down his answers as he goes:
Barton: [question]
Chu: [Technical answer]
Barton: [Bizarre question]
Chu: [Simple answer]
Barton: [Stupid comment]
Chu: [Extremely broad, basic answer]
Presumably if they hadn’t run out of time Chu would eventually have been drawing Barton little pictures of dinosaurs.
Here’s a scary thought:
Two Congressmen, One Chair
TWO DAYS BEFORE embarrassing his party with a public apology to BP CEO Tony Hayward, Representative Joe Barton was so obsequious to five oil company executives at a Congressional subcommittee hearing that he might have been mistaken for an aging male escort brought in to service the boys from Big Oil.
So obsequious that the chief executives of ExxonMobil, Chevron, Conoco Phillips, Shell, and BP America were clearly uncomfortable with the ranking minority member of a powerful House committee groveling before them. They thought they had been summoned to Washington for the standard ritual humiliation that is always gratifying to the public and sometimes leads to constructive legislation. And here was Barton, a Texas Republican, genuflecting before them, praising them as corporate citizens, and contrasting their “best practices” with the environmental plunder and lax workplace standards of Chinese oil companies.
Joe Barton will become the committee chair. **http://www.washingtonspectator.org/articles/20100701whogetsgavel.cfm
Though, given Barton’s proclivity for verbal fellatio, perhaps he could just suck all the oil out of the hole.

“Young Earth” creationists don’t accept the concept of continental drift.

Bush was a complete fucking disaster. But because he was a Republican, it never happened.
But, Steele is too. Soon enough he’ll never have happened either, and between him and Jinal the GOBP will have ended their experiment in reflexive tokenism.

Yeah. Bush was a total disaster, and “his” chickens have come home to roost (on us). As for Steele, he is self destructing. I like how he is now blaming Obama for Bush’s wars. And saying they are wars of convenience or something. Funny. When they were “repubican” wars, any doubt or talk about quitting were treason. Uh huh. Two faced, double talking lying assholes.
It’s like one of those comic book “reboot” things.

Damn. That man’s balls must have their own moons, the size of them.
The Bonner County fair in Northern Idaho chooses a theme for their fair every year. This year they have chosen as a theme: “Fiesta at the Fair.”
Guess who has a problem with them using Spanish.
As a matter of fact, in an act of defiance, the local GOP plans to call their booth at the fair ‘Celebrate’ and display Arizona license plates in support of Arizona’s tough new illegal immigration law."
Really? They’re protesting the theme of a county fair in Idaho because it’s too Mexican for them. What a pack of tools.
Not only have the atheist liberals started a war against Christmas, now they’ve declared war on the English language!
You know who else was from Northern Idaho and didn’t like Mexicans?

I hate Idahoan Nazis.
Mmmm…Idaho Nazis with butter and sour cream…
-Joe
They’re Master-race-eriffic.
Very off topic, but you heard of the Nazi pirate?
He was a proud Arrrr-yan!
Why? That line of jokes was clearly a race to the bottom!
Mmmm…Idaho Nazi Bottoms with butter and sour cream…
-Joe
I think John Thompson produced a series of porn movies with that in mind.
