Much has been said recently about Texas' Republican Representatives Louie Gohmert and Steve Stockman, but they are just a small sample of the idiots and science deniers that the state of Texas has sent to the United States Congress. Take Joe Barton for example. He not only thinks that windmills will slow down the wind, but he is also the creep that wanted Congress to apologize to BP for being made to pay for their huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. I know that other states have also sent idiots to Congress, but I defy anyone to name a state that has sent more than the state of Texas.
My state, MN, has sent basically only one recently, albeit, it was a doozie though, Michele Bachmann; yep I think TX should win some kind of award for ALL the whackjobs they send to Congress!
ReplyDeleteI know TX has the reputation for bigger. Does that include "bigger idiots"? There seems to be a large crop of nut jobs, not only in politics, that have the TEXAS label. I have many family members in TX, some religious some not so much, and they just chuckle about the weirdness and the hypocrisy. I graduated from UT-Austin in 1971 and I don't remember this much CRAZY.
ReplyDeleteWell, windmills *do* slow down the wind, they turn wind energy into electrical energy, meaning less energy in the moving air afterwards (i.e., it's moving slower). But saying that windmills will make the planet hotter is just dumb. They just convert one form of energy into another, they don't add energy to the planet.
ReplyDeleteThe gerrymandering engineered by Tom DeLay has much to do with the number of idiots representing Texas. Too many Texans seem to take a perverse pride in the stupidity of their representatives, never realizing these folks are doing real damage to the state and the country.
