Dinosaur Flatulence and the GOP

Sometimes they write themselves. Any opportunity to use dinosaur, flatulence and the GOP in one sentence should never be avoided. How about this one: The flatulent sound of GOP dinosaurs debating global warming provides evidence of their ignorance and their unwillingness to be cured of that state.

I am referring in particular to Dana Rohrbacher (R, Calif) and his comments concerning the cause of a global warming incident 55 million years ago. One must credit the representative with believing that 55 million years ago is a plausible date; however, his paleontology leaves a bit to be desired. He credits the warm up and mass extinctions of the time to dinosaur flatulence. The only problem with his dinosaur fart of a statement is that the dinosaurs had been extinct for around ten million years by the start of the event.

Of course, the ignorant gentleman from California was simply trying to discredit global warming to the benefit of his elitest supporters. Nancy Pelosi, on the other hand, is willing to face the truth - the only way we're going to prevent a similar disaster of our own creation is to use less carbon. Rohrbacher apparently disagrees, proof that certain species of dinosaur will never die.
