Just sayin'... August 24, 2011 10:00 am Jody

Every now and again someone says something that mirrors my thoughts and verbalizes it ever so much better than myself. My brother-in-law Eric writes:

As a logician, it cracks me up when the champions of reason, science and empirical evidence get the vapors over Rick Perry questioning the veracity of the “science” of global warming. Do they notice the paradox of unflinching Darwinian beliefs while ignoring a species ability to evolve when our environment changes? C’mon journalists, use some of that hard science and logic they taught you in J-school. Oh, they didn’t?
