Which may be the intent. Though I prefer thinking he's just too stupid to know the difference.

The ability to perform the Vulcan salute should be required for every world leader.

Hey, I know as much about baseball as Rick Perry knows about climate change, but nobody ever invites me on ESPN to discuss the world series.

I was kinda thinking more in terms of LOTR, where Gondor signalled Rohan with a series of monstrous bonfires - or ancient Scottish clans communicating over distances....

Perry said his three.east favorite subjects in school were science and, uh, he couldn't remember the other two.

A lab coat stomping on a human face, forever. I love you, Doktor Zoom.

Btw, I was in NYC during Hurricane Sandy. It was a Frankenstorm, exacerbated by climate change/global warming. Five days without electricity, a month without a landline phone. And I got off easy because I'm on a top floor and inland. A few blocks away, things were far worse. A few miles away, they were horrific.

That makes total sense. I completely agree. Thanks for clarifying!

Perry and other global warming deniers of influence should write a letter to their great, great grandchildren about how they stood up to those crazy scientists that thought there was a problem with too much CO2 in the atmosphere and the great, great grandchildren could either applaud the wisdom of Perry and the others or they could find their graves and piss on them. My bet is that the graves would become swampy very quickly.

Dok, when I saw the headline, I thought you were pointing to the new Vanity Fair article about the Energy Department:

"The department’s budget is now on the chopping block. But does anyone in the White House really understand what the Department of Energy actually does? And what a horrible risk it would be to ignore its extraordinary, life-or-death responsibilities?"

In short: the Energy department has a lot of specialists who do VERY important work with our nuclear materials, but they can't the word out to Perry or anybody else. They just get visits from ignorant, Trumpist hacks who won't believe them or think it's infested with Obamist Democrats that need to be rooted out.

You can, however, attribute one storm to God's anger over gay marriage.
