What does being the only man in America to apologize to BP for this past summer's oil spill get you? Why, the chairmanship of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, of course! Joe Barton is still somehow the ranking Republican member of that committee, so he will probably get that job, even though his party has lots of reasons not to give it to him. Barton is hoping to do a good job as the energy chairman -- and that means making sure this country burns up as much energy resources as possible. That's why he's defending "traditional, incandescent light bulb" marriage against Americans who sinfully want to marry "the little, squiggly, pig-tailed ones."
The Repubican approach to health care is "saying 'no' makes you feel better".
If they repeal Health <i>Insurance</i> Reform, I hope they have the courage to then enact a Congressional Insurance Plan that only covers 85% of members at a time, randomly adding and dropping families periodically. Of course, the congressbots are healthier and wealthier than most Americans, so the impact will be softened. But I want to be a fly on the wall when Joe Barton is told his wife Terri* has treatable cancer and no coverage because of her pre-existing condition. _____________________ <i>* sorry Mrs Barton, I hope you are healthy. But please have a word with your husband on behalf of men and women who lose loved ones every fucking day because of a &quot;weird feeling&quot; that may cost their families hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of dollar to diagnose or treat</i>
I&#039;m sure your love for them is because of their energy saving value, but many others have probably discovered other wonderful uses for the curly glass part. Also.
I know, right? And yet....rampant, institutionalized racism, American children living in poverty, industrial pollution...? Couldn&#039;t be bothered.
Of topic, unless the topic is Stupid People (it usually is), but <a href="http:\/\/www.thedailyshow.com\/watch\/mon-november-8-2010\/moment-of-zen---wonder-woman-on-crime" target="_blank">when you&#039;ve got Steve Doocy looking at you like you&#039;re a moron, you&#039;ve got to know whatever you just said hit a whole new level of stupid</a>.
Waaaay too much gasoline is not one of his conservative principles.

i am still waiting for anything joe barton was right about.
(sorry for the dangling participle).
And don&#039;t get Joe started on those &#039;water-conserving&#039; toilets! Now he has to flush <b>3 times!</b>
I&#039;m sure your love for them is because of their energy saving value, but many others have probably discovered other wonderful uses for the curly glass part. Also.
When you&#039;re as full of shit as George Will, no normal toilet is enough.
I know, right? And yet....rampant, institutionalized racism, American children living in poverty, industrial pollution...? Couldn&#039;t be bothered.
I&#039;m not going to argue that point, since Barton was also elected in 2008.
Barton also apologized to Hurricane Katrina for its loss of wind speed while destroying parts of New Orleans.
Dear Youth of America,
See what happens when you don&#039;t vote? Assholes win elections.
Sincerely,
Barry
