          Every once in a while, dude still reminds us why he was worth a shot.

          Again, a little inside knowledge because of living in the WMA and living with somebody who has Hill stories that will curl your hair: the breakdown of the GOP guys who you see tub thumping about climate change in the well is about 50/50. Half of them are just like you and I -- they understand it's real and it's going to be a helluva bill when it arrives. They're just cynical and they feed their constituents' insecurity because it furthers their careers. But half of them are serious as a heart attack that Science is in the tank for liberals. Those folks come from a whackadoodle fundy background and they really, really truly think that bad things happen because we turn our back on the thunder god and if we would just burn all the science books and go back to the Iron Age everything would be all right.

          The cynics we can deal with -- they're just John Edwards or Bill Clinton with a different letter after their name. They are the Lee Atwaters of the world who looked at the field, saw their path to the top was maximized by arbitrarily choosing the Snake Handler party because that's what sells in their district, and took it from there. God knows there are plenty on the other side of the aisle who did the same thing.

          But the True Believers are really dangerous. They're the idiots who get people killed. And since there is now a highly lucrative home schooling industry to keep their children and grandchildren just as ignorant as they are, and an Echo Chamber to prevent them from ever hearing any real facts, they're going to be with us for a long time.

          Maybe someday a serviceable Alcubierre drive ship can take them off to their Eden. It actually doesn't have to be functional; they only have to believe it is. In space, no one can hear you derp.

                          Good news, everyone. After all those thousands of hours of hearings and investigations, there's actual evidence of a horrible DOS oversight scandal that should result in political appointees going to prison. I am certain the Purveyors Of Fine Outrage will be on it relentlessly.
